We like working with talented people be they staff, customers or suppliers. That’s why we give discounts to people who can navigate our jobs challenge even if they don’t want to work for us.

Occasionally we’ve drafted in Gytha Lodge to help us copy write various articles and turn a jumble of thoughts into a coherent and interesting article.

Formerly an aspiring author, her full title is now Richard and Judy book club pick and Sunday Times bestselling author, Gytha Lodge.

We’re also pleased to report that she took our advice on her first book seriously and the new book starts with a murder being watched over a webcam.

Invoices, contracts, cheques and a free company mug.

We’re looking to expand our team by employing a part-time finance and administrative assistant for between 12 and 20 hours a week. The duties of the role will likely include dealing with invoicing queries from customers, reconciling bank transfers with invoices, uploading receipts to Receipt Bank and Xero, chasing up overdue invoices, dealing with some paper mail to the company, taking cheques to the bank, filing paperwork and keeping a calendar of administrative deadlines. Previous experience in a similar role is desirable, as is experience with Xero accounting software.

Mythic Beasts don’t have an office, so the job primarily involves working from home. We’ll provide you with a laptop and cover reasonable home-working expenses. Hours are flexible, but we would normally expect you to be available in Cambridge on Wednesday afternoons. You will be entitled to 30 days of holiday a year plus bank holidays, pro rata for the hours worked. Salary is subject to experience. You will be eligible for company health insurance and membership of our employee share scheme after the qualifying period.
