Temp to Perm - Stratford-upon-Avon - £16–£18 per hour (£32-35,000 salary) - Full-time | Office-based
Arden Personnel is proud to be working with a fast-growing and successful business based in Stratford-upon-Avon. We are now recruiting for a Credit Controller who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves, take the reins, and stand their ground when it comes to getting invoices paid.
This is a temporary role with the strong view to becoming permanent for someone who can demonstrate confidence, resilience, and a clear ability to take ownership of the credit control function.
What are the day to day duties for this Credit Control position?
In this role, you’ll be managing the credit control process from start to finish – and yes, that means chasing outstanding payments firmly, consistently, and with no flinching. Your day-to-day will include:
In the short term:
- Take control of outstanding debt—clearing the backlog and chasing aged balances
- Clean up the ledger and resolve long-standing queries
- Build strong working relationships with customers to ensure timely payments
- Escalate debts where needed to third-party collection agencies
- Keep accurate records and update customer notes throughout the process
- Introduce and implement “what good looks like” in credit control—define processes that actually work in the longer term:
- Manage the customer ledger day-to-day with confidence and consistency
- Expand the role into the Sales Ledger function for greater variety and responsibility
- Play an active role in process improvements and system development
What skills and experience do you need for this Credit Control position?
We’re looking for someone who knows how to get results — someone who doesn’t take “I’ll get back to you” as an answer and isn’t afraid to follow up again (and again) until that payment is through.
- Solid experience in Credit Control and Sales Ledger
- Confident using Excel and Microsoft Word
- Fantastic organisational and time management skills
- Strong communication—both written and spoken—with the confidence to chase payments professionally
- A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
- The energy, drive, and determination to make this role your own
What's on offer for this Credit Control position?
- An excellent hourly rate of £16–£18, depending on experience
- Salary equivalent of £32-35,000 per annum
- A temporary role with the strong likelihood of becoming permanent
- Supportive and approachable team environment
- On-site parking and convenient Stratford-upon-Avon location
- Guidance and ongoing support from Arden Personnel throughout your placement
- Hours of work: Monday to Thursday: 08:30 – 17:00 / Friday: 08:30 – 16:00
This is your chance to join a business that values initiative, rewards results, and is crying out for someone to come in and own this part of the finance function.
If you're a natural with numbers, firm but fair on the phone, and ready for a role with real impact—this could be your perfect next move.
