The University of Bedfordshire Business School is at the forefront of expanding opportunity and access in higher education. With a strong focus on the student experience, we are committed to excellent, inclusive teaching that prepares our students for professional employment and inspires them to achieve their ambitions. We deliver across a range of Business-related subject areas and are currently expanding provision through new partnerships and a developing portfolio of higher and degree apprenticeships. Our teaching, research and civic engagement make a real impact across business, public services and our community and in recognition of this we have recently become the first Business School in the UK to be assessed by the EFMD for their Business School Impact System label.

Following significant investment by the University in the learning environment and the student experience, we are seeking to make further appointments to enhance our portfolio within the Department of Law & Finance – which includes the subject areas of accounting, finance, economics, HRM and Law education; with the aim of assisting and driving our ambitious programme of strategic change. We are now seeking to recruit an Academic Portfolio Leader who will work across the above Law & Finance provision.

Within the Department of Law and Finance, as an Academic Portfolio Leader you will be joining the team responsible for our growing undergraduate and postgraduate courses.  The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering research informed teaching and learning, curriculum development and review, and for providing an excellent student experience. The University’s close proximity to London Luton Airport and the City of London means that we are well placed to work in close collaboration with business and provide rich opportunities for students to gain placements and internships experience as well as graduate employment opportunities on completion of their studies.

Experience of engagement with external partners and delivering HE provision across a distributed campus would be an advantage.

With a PhD or with equivalent experience in an appropriate subject area, you will be an excellent communicator, will enjoy working as part of a team and will be committed to your own personal development within your subject field. 

Due to the Home Office and UK Visas & Immigration requirements on immigration and Right to Work in the UK, the University of Bedfordshire can only accept job applications from Non EEA applicants who hold a current Tier 1 or Tier 2 (in country) visa and their status allows them to work and reside in the UK with no restrictions.

The University is committed to equality of opportunity and values the diversity of all its workforce and student population.
