Trainee Accountants, with an appropriate first-degree qualification, would normally undergo at least three years training on-the-job in order to acquire the necessary professional skills, before they may be considered for promotion to a career grade (Grade 5 and above) within the University. During the training period individuals will be required to undertake a variety of duties within the Finance Section on a rotational basis. The activities of the Trainee Accountant will be supervised by a line-manager and they will be required to attend regular review meetings to discuss their progress. In addition, a mentor will be appointed. The role of the mentor will be to act as a sounding board and to provide support and guidance to the Trainee Accountant during their training programme and to assist the individual in addressing any issues that may have a detrimental impact on their ability to successfully complete their training period. The role of the mentor will not conflict with the responsibilities of the designated line-manager. Trainee Accountants will be expected to undertake training for a relevant professional accountancy qualification and to participate in continuing professional development appropriate to their role. The actual professional qualification that is required will be agreed between the individual and the relevant manager within the Finance Section having regard to the needs of the University. In addition Trainee Accountants may be expected to undertake short-term development courses which may or may not lead to certification. Such courses will be agreed with the line-manager and will form an integral part of the training programme. Grading and Promotion On satisfactory completion of any agreed training Trainee Accountants will be considered for appointment/promotion to a career grade position within the University. During training Trainees will be paid as follows During the first year of graduate training National Spinal Point 20 During the second year of graduate training National Spinal Point 22 During the final year of graduate training National Spinal Point 24 During the training period incremental progression will apply on the anniversary of the individuals appointment. On completion of training and appointment to a career grade, incremental progression will be in accordance with the Universitys normal incremental progression procedure. As the Trainees are regarded as Grade 5 staff under training they will be appointed on the terms and conditions of employment that apply to staff employed at Grade 5 (or above). On satisfactory completion of the training period there will be an assessment of performance and a review of any further training or development activities undertaken during the training period. Subject to a satisfactory outcome of this review Trainees will be eligible for consideration for promotion or appointment to a career grade position within the University, normally at the locally determined Grade 6. Where a Trainees performance falls short of that expected during the training period they may, subject to a position being available, continue to be employed as a part qualified Accountant on the Universitys Grade 5 salary scale, initially at Spinal Point 25. Where a Trainee is appointed/promoted to a fully qualified position at the Universitys Grade 6 following satisfactory completion of their training period they will normally be assimilated to the Grade 6 salary scale at National Spinal Point 30 which is the 1st point on the Grade 6 salary scale. Advancement to a Career Grade will only be considered where the Line Manager and University Secretary support the recommendation for advancement. Trainees may be considered for advancement to one of the career grades after a shorter period of training where their performance and/or relevant experience can be demonstrated to be significantly above average. In accordance with the University-wide job evaluation system any Trainee that is recommended for advancement to one of the career grades at Grade 5 (or above) must be able to meet the role requirements for a position at this level as assessed by the Universitys job evaluation scheme, before they can be promoted. Accountant Following appointment to one of the Career Grades, the Trainee will undertake the full role of an Accountant within the University. The Accountant will undertake further professional training and work experience under the guidance of their line manager. Accountants will be expected to participate fully in any assessment of their performance. This will include participation in any locally agreed review mechanisms that are put in place by the relevant line-manager(s) to provide individuals with constructive feedback that will allow them to continue to develop their career/performance. Where an individuals performance is believed to be poor or unacceptable they will be provided with support and guidance in accordance with good management practice. Fully qualified Accountants will normally have responsibility for their own area of the University or have designated responsibility for specific activities. They may also be expected to undertake supervisory responsibilities for more junior accountancy staff. Whilst Accountants at this level will still report to a line manager and receive support from them they will have day-to-day responsibility for decision within their designated area of responsibility. It is expected that with experience Accountants will be able to demonstrate a level of proactive strategic input into the Finance Section and should be instrumental in driving forward the work of the Section and be able to demonstrate strong leadership skills in financial management. Where individuals are able to demonstrate such enhanced knowledge and skills they may be eligible for promotion to Grade 7 through the Universitys annual Promotion & Contribution award exercise. There are also limited opportunities for Accountants to be appointed to more senior roles that support large areas of the University such appointments will normally be made through a competitive appointment process. However in exceptional circumstances appointments at Grade 8 or above may result from successful applications being made to through the annual Promotion & Contribution award exercise. Training Fees During training the University will reimburse the fees necessarily incurred by the individual in pursuing their professional development. This will include professional and examination fees, the purchase of necessary books, texts and revision courses. If an individual leaves the Universitys employment within a period of 18 months of obtaining their professional qualification the University will require the individual to reimburse, in full, any fees that have been paid by the University. Study and Examination Leave Trainees will be allowed appropriate periods of study and examination leave as agreed with their line-manager having regard to the needs of their particular course of study. Requests for leave should be discussed and agreed in advance with their line-manager. Professional Fees Where the University agrees that membership of a particular professional body is relevant to the work of an Accountant they may claim, annually, reimbursement of their professional membership fee.
