We are currently recruiting for a Credit Controller to join our busy team based in Peterborough.

As Credit Controller, you will take ownership of specific debtor categories and accounts, managing all related debt collection activity. You’ll work closely with colleagues across Mencap, playing a key role in supporting the people we serve.
