Recruiting managers will not have access to personal information, including your name and contact details, until a shortlisting decision has been made. We are committed to recruiting, retaining, and developing a workforce that reflects the communities we serve. Sharing your equality monitoring data allows us to assess the impact our recruitment and employment policies and practices have and gives us the opportunity to improve them where possible. Equality monitoring information is not accessible by recruiting managers at any stage. /*generated inline style */ About the vacancy /*generated inline style */ Vacancy ID: 3274 /*generated inline style */ Organisation: Carmarthenshire County Council /*generated inline style */ Number of vacancies: 1 /*generated inline style */ Contract type: Permanent Part Time /*generated inline style */ Location: Carmarthen /*generated inline style */ Grade: Grade D /*generated inline style */ Salary: £25,949 (Including Real Living Wage Supplement) - £26,403 /*generated inline style */ If part time and/or term time, the full time salary quoted (based on 37hrs) will be pro-rata'd accordingly /*generated inline style */ Hourly Rate : £13.45 (Including Real Living Wage Supplement) - £13.69 /*generated inline style */ Contract Hours 14 hours 29 minutes per week /*generated inline style */ Come and join our team A part time vacancy has arisen in the busy Central Accounts Payable section that provides an invoice payment service for the whole Authority; making payments in excess of £1.7Bn each year.
