At YMCA England & Wales, we’re driven by a simple belief: work should be meaningful. Every day, our teams play a part in supporting young people, families, and communities across the country. Behind the scenes, our Finance Department makes this possible by ensuring we can deliver services smoothly and effectively. Now, we’re looking for an organised and motivated Expenditure Clerk to join our friendly Finance Processing Team.

Why this role matters

As Expenditure Clerk, you’ll be more than just a number cruncher. You’ll play a vital role in keeping our purchase ledger accurate and up to date – ensuring suppliers are paid on time, invoices are processed correctly, and our services can run without interruption. In short, your attention to detail will help keep the YMCA movement strong, so we can continue to change lives every day.

What you’ll do

Working closely with our Senior Expenditure Clerks and Expenditure Supervisor, you’ll:

Process purchase invoices and payments accurately and promptly.

Match invoices with purchase orders and resolve queries as they arise.

Reconcile supplier statements and support with banking and petty cash.

Monitor supplier portals, scan and distribute documentation, and keep records organised both physically and digitally.

Support colleagues across the Finance Processing Team to ensure everything runs smoothly.

What we’re looking for

You’ll be a detail-oriented team player who enjoys working with numbers and processes. Accuracy, organisation, and a proactive attitude are key. While some finance or purchase ledger experience would be an advantage, what matters most is your enthusiasm for learning and your commitment to supporting the team.

Why join us?

At YMCA, you’ll find more than just a job. You’ll be part of a supportive, collaborative workplace where people care about making a difference. We believe work should be rewarding and enjoyable, so we foster a culture where you can learn, grow, and celebrate success with colleagues who share your values.

Join us – and help keep the vital work of YMCA moving forward.
