Hours: Part-time 7.2 hours per week (0.2 FTE)
Starting Salary: Lecturer £7,469 per annum (full time equivalent £37,345) 
Senior Lecturer £8,407.20 per annum (full time equivalent £42,036) 
Term: Permanent 

This is an exciting opportunity to join the University’s multidisciplinary Department of Business, Law and Society at a key moment in its development. The Department currently offers programmes including BAs in Business Management, Communications and Marketing, Criminology and Sociology, Law and Politics, as well as innovative postgraduate courses in Sports Journalism, Charity Management, Diplomacy and International Relations, Human Trafficking, International Business Law and International Business Management.

The Department’s business degrees have professional accreditation, including some accreditations from CIPFA and CIMA. We wish to develop the professional accreditations and the range of degrees at all levels, especially in the area of accounting.

The person appointed will contribute to teaching accounting and also to the development of undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses in accounting and finance. No prior experience of designing degree courses is needed as full assistance will be given by Programme Directors and others within the Department. In addition, the postholder will be responsible for accounting professional accreditations on the business management portfolio. It is not expected that the postholder will undertake original research, but scholarship to ensure that teaching is informed by the latest developments in practice will be important.

We invite applications from candidates with a professional background in accounting even without prior experience of higher education teaching – though teaching, training or presentation experience of some kind would be an advantage and it is essential that the candidate has good presentational skills. The candidate must be professionally qualified and understand the professional bodies and their qualifications well enough to ensure that accreditations remain fully up to date across the degree programmes.

Since 1850, St Mary’s mission has been to provide a high quality academic and professional environment, inspired by its distinctive ethos and values. The University is an inclusive academic community where everybody is welcomed.
