About the Role

• The Lecturer, Taxation and Accounting is central to the delivery of high-quality tax and accounting education to distance students at NQF Levels 5 to 7.

• Design assessments aligned to programme learning outcomes and provide constructive, actionable feedback
• Keep course content current as tax legislation, accounting standards, and accreditation requirements evolve
• Contribute to faculty governance and curriculum review, with real input into how the programme develops
