The role will make an important contribution to the academic development, course management and delivery of our Accounting and Finance provision, with particular expertise in Financial Accounting and Auditing.

You will contribute to teaching across our portfolio, including taking responsibility for relevant modules, supporting students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and contributing to the continued development and enhancement of our curriculum. You will also have opportunities to contribute to research, knowledge exchange and the School's wider engagement with industry, employers and professional communities.

You will hold a recognised professional accounting qualification (ACCA), with current membership of the professional body. Importantly, you will also have experience of preparing learners for, teaching towards and/or assessing professional accountancy examinations, particularly within Financial Accounting and Auditing.

You will bring a flexible and innovative approach to teaching and be comfortable working both independently and collaboratively. You will have the ability to contribute to research and knowledge exchange and to build productive relationships with students, colleagues, employers and other external stakeholders.

An undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in Accounting and Finance, or a related discipline and a relevant postgraduate qualification in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline are essential for this role.

What we can offer you:

We have a fantastic package of rewards and lifestyle benefits – from an attractive annual leave entitlement to access to a comprehensive employee benefits platform which includes a 24/7 online GP. Our people are our most important asset. We'll encourage you to make the most of your talents and continually develop your skills and knowledge. As well as realising your career ambitions, you'll be making a positive difference to other people's lives.

We are proud to be a diverse, multicultural university. We are committed to building a truly inclusive culture where diversity is championed. Applications are particularly welcomed from individuals who will support the diversification within the University and support its development of a culture that is inclusive and welcoming to all.
