Accountant – R2R

A job with Merlin isn’t like a job anywhere else. With attractions around the world, from rollercoasters to wax figures, we don’t trade in suits, handshakes or briefcases. We trade in fun. In smiles, shrieks and spine-tingles. In Memories. In magic. But there are no tricks behind our magic. Instead, there are people like you. Passionate, dedicated people who are committed to making sure our worldwide attractions and guests’ experiences are the best they can be. 

We are hiring for an Accountant to join our Finance team. This role will be based at our The Merlin Hub – Basingstoke office and reports into the Senior Accountant – R2R on a 6-month Fixed-Term basis. This is a hybrid role for those looking for more flexibility in their working week.
