Full Job Description
West Country Water Park is a new WaterSports Activity Centre in North Bristol. We offer Open Water Swimming, Paddleboarding, Windsurfing and our Aquapark during the summer months. We have a cafe and shop on site and are looking to expand to a restaurant in the next year or so.
The business is just over a year old, but we have grown very quickly and are now in need of a fantastic finance assistant / bookkeeper to take over from our externally provided Bookkeeper.
The bookkeeping and tech stack have already been set up, but we will continually be looking for ways to improve it as tech and the business develop. We need someone who is willing to get stuck into the day to day work of keeping track of things and working with our team. But also willing to develop the finance systems as the business grows and tech changes.
