Junior Finance & Property Administrator

Location: Bury Town Centre, Greater Manchester (Office Based)
Salary: £26,000
Job Type: Full Time

About Crown Estates

Crown Estates manages and supports a growing commercial property portfolio. As the business continues to expand, we are establishing a dedicated property team to support the management, administration and financial operations of the estate.

We are now looking for a Junior Finance & Property Administrator to join the team and play a key role in supporting both property administration and finance activities.

About the Role

This role is designed as a career-building opportunity for someone with a strong academic background who is interested in exploring a career in finance, property or commercial operations.

You will gain exposure to both financial processes and commercial property management, supporting the Estates and Finance teams with a range of administrative and analytical tasks.

The role will start with a structured mix of finance and property administration responsibilities. As Crown Estates continues to grow its property portfolio, the position will naturally develop and evolve, allowing the successful candidate to build skills and potentially progress into a more specialised finance or property-focused role.

This is a fully office-based role in Bury town centre, so applicants should live within a reasonable commuting distance and be happy working on-site.

Key Responsibilities

Finance Support

• Provide regular cover for the Finance Assistant, including bank reconciliations and finance administration

• Assist with credit control, monitoring and following up outstanding payments

• Process and post company credit card transactions

Additional Responsibilities

About You

This role would particularly suit someone with a strong academic background who is looking to begin their career in finance, property or commercial operations.

You will likely have:

• Strong attention to detail and organisational skills

• Good numerical ability and confidence working with data

• An interest in finance, property or business operations

• Confidence using Excel and digital systems

• A proactive attitude and willingness to learn

• The ability to commute to our Bury town centre office on a daily basis

• Salary of £26,000

• Paid town centre car park pass

• Exposure to both finance and commercial property operations

• Opportunity to join a growing property team

• A role designed to develop and grow with the business
