Join Hometree at the most exciting moment in our story. Founded in 2015, we've become one of the fastest-growing challengers in the UK home services market, spanning home cover that protects the essential systems in the home, renewable installations like solar, batteries and heat pumps, and the financing that makes them affordable. Together, we help homeowners look after their homes and move to greener, lower-carbon living.
We're now going through the biggest step change in our history. By acquiring OVO Energy's Home Services division, including the trusted CORGI HomePlan and HomeHeat brands, we're becoming one of the UK's leading home services groups, with fresh investment to fuel our next phase of growth. It's a genuine inflection point, and we're looking for people who want to help us build what comes next.
🏆 UK's third-largest home cover provider: our latest acquisition makes us the third-largest provider of home cover in the UK.
🏆 7 Acquisitions - We've expanded our operations by acquiring 6 key companies across financing (Hometree Finance - formerly Bewarm), Home Cover (Your Repair) and energy services (Geowarmth, The Little Green Energy Company, IMS and GreenGen). And we have most recently announced the acquisition of OVO Home Services and CORGI Homeplan (subject to FCA approval).
🏆 500k Homes Covered - We cover over 500 hundred thousand homes across the UK
🏆 550+ Employees - We have over 550 passionate employees transforming the industry across the Group, one home at a time
This is a brand-new, dedicated Accounts Payable position, the first of its kind in the group. Until now, our accounts payable work has been shared across several people. We’re bringing it together into one focused role so that AP is owned, consistent and well-controlled across the group.
You’ll take ownership of the day-to-day purchase ledger across our entities, working across both of our accounting platforms (Xero and QuickBooks Online), with strong automation already in place through Dext, ApprovalMax and Spendesk. You’ll process around 1,000 supplier invoices a month, run several weekly payment runs plus month-end runs, and keep our supplier relationships and reconciliations in good shape.
This role suits someone with accounts payable experience who’s ready to take real ownership, including anyone looking to gain a professional qualification, which we’ll support. You’ll start with a clear, focused AP remit and the systems and support to do it well, with the scope to take on more as you develop and as the group grows.
This role is designed as a launchpad. We’ll fund your professional study (for example AAT, with a route towards CIMA or ACCA as you progress) and give you real, hands-on experience across a multi-entity group. As Hometree grows and the finance function scales, so will your opportunities - we want the person who joins us in this role to grow into something bigger.
We have an ever expanding list of benefits that currently includes:
At Hometree, we prioritise ethical conduct and regulatory compliance. As a regulated financial services organisation, we operate under the strict guidelines and regulations set forth by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in all aspects of our business.
As a prospective member of our team, you will be expected to fully embrace and adhere to the FCA Code of Conduct obligations. These obligations are designed to ensure the fair treatment of customers, the preservation of market integrity, and the promotion of healthy competition within the financial services industry.
At Hometree, we are committed to creating an inclusive and representative environment. We know that different experiences, perspectives and backgrounds make for a better workplace and a better planet. Together, we celebrate differences and promote a culture where you can bring your full self to work.
We promise to give you the same opportunities as everyone else and we won't discriminate against you at any point in the hiring process or the working day. This includes how we source talent, our interview process, our conditions of employment, feedback and everything in between
Hometree is a home energy services company on a mission to accelerate the transition to net zero. By fixing, installing and financing home energy hardware, we're helping homeowners transition to low-carbon living, when they’re ready.
Heating is responsible for 14% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. If we're serious about hitting those net zero goals to mitigate the climate emergency, we need to act. The transition has already begun but it’s a mammoth task and it won’t happen overnight. We know the challenges on the table – with soaring energy costs, expensive heat pumps and home infrastructure challenges, homeowners are left with many pressing questions - which option should I choose - heat pump or hydrogen boiler? Who will install the equipment - and- how will I afford it?
That's where Hometree comes in. We understand that homeowners will make the journey at their own pace - and our role is to assist them along the way. Today, we offer boiler and home emergency cover - but we’re rapidly expanding our products and services to install and finance low-carbon home energy hardware, so that we can help steer more UK homeowners to a cleaner and brighter future.
Decarbonisation will transform the way we all heat our homes and this is just the start of the Hometree journey. Let's transform home energy together.
