Accounts Payable Senior/Executive

Methodist Welfare Services (MWS) is all about empowering people to have life to the full.

We are a non-profit organisation serving people across all ethnicities and religions.

We recognise that the people we serve may experience poverty in different ways – weak social support or fractured relationships, poor health, a sense of hopelessness, or a lack of means.

We journey alongside them to uncover their inherent strengths, affirm them and support them holistically towards a better life.

While MWS' sphere of impact has expanded since our founding, our core spirit of social holiness remains unwavering.

Today, we serve over 16,000 beneficiaries, including children from disadvantaged backgrounds, youths at risk, families in distress, seniors who are socially isolated, and the chronically ill and destitute.
