Teaching Fellow or Senior Teaching Fellow - Accountants

We are seeking a professionally qualified accountant to join our School of Accounting, Economics and Finance as a Teaching Fellow or Senior Teaching Fellow, depending on experience. The successful candidate will contribute to teaching across our undergraduate accounting programmes, with opportunities to teach in areas including Financial Reporting, Management Accounting, Taxation and Auditing, depending on their expertise.

Our School has a distinctive approach to teaching, emphasising active, student-centred learning rather than traditional lectures. Students develop their knowledge and skills through interactive workshops, practical exercises and the application of accounting concepts to real-world problems.

An example is our Professional Accounting Practice module, in which students work with local charities to undertake practical, light-touch audit activities. We would welcome a colleague who could contribute to this module, bringing professional experience into the classroom and helping students develop the skills and confidence needed for their future careers.

Applicants must hold full professional membership of a recognised accountancy body, such as ICAEW, ACCA, CIMA or an equivalent professional body. We welcome applications from both experienced educators and accounting professionals considering a move into higher education.

Previous university teaching experience is not essential for appointment at Teaching Fellow level. We are particularly interested in candidates who can communicate complex accounting concepts clearly, engage and motivate students, and bring practical professional insights into their teaching.

This is an opportunity to join a supportive teaching team committed to providing an excellent student experience and preparing graduates for professional careers in accounting. We welcome applications from candidates seeking either full-time or part-time employment.

Much of this role will be worked on site at the Portsmouth campus, but some hybrid working may be available to complete admin tasks.

The assessment process consists of a micro-teach that will take place in the morning followed by interviews in the afternoon. You will prepare and deliver a micro-teach (workshop) to a small group. This is a two-stage process and you must pass the micro-teach assessment to progress to the interview stage.

Benefits include: competitive salary with incremental progression; generous pension scheme; generous leave entitlement of 32–35 days a year plus bank holidays and an additional Christmas closure; family-friendly policies supporting flexible working; staff discounts and loyalty schemes; staff car parking and discounted public travel; excellent training and development opportunities; staff wellbeing programmes; recreation facilities including discounted gym membership, food on campus schemes, use of the Library and staff social activities; discounted learning; and start-up business mentoring from expert entrepreneurs via the Entrepreneurs in Residence programme.
