Assignment-Based Academic, Practitioner, Executive and Assessment Faculty Opportunities

The London School of Social Enterprise and Sustainable Economics (LSSE) is expanding its Associate Faculty Pool to support the delivery of its growing portfolio of programmes in ESG Execution, Social Entrepreneurship, Project Design, Fundraising, Impact Reporting, Executive Education and Professional Recognition.

LSSE is inviting selected academics, practitioners, executives, consultants, charity leaders, ESG professionals, social enterprise founders, fundraisers, impact specialists and assessment professionals to express interest in joining its faculty network on an assignment-based engagement model.

This opportunity is designed for professionals who want to contribute to serious, practical and institutionally credible learning without requiring a permanent employment arrangement. Faculty members may be invited to deliver teaching sessions, workshops, clinics, masterclasses, portfolio reviews, assessment panels or executive sessions as LSSE cohorts and programmes are confirmed.

Appointment to the LSSE Associate Faculty Pool does not guarantee a minimum number of teaching hours or assignments. Assignments will be offered based on programme demand, subject expertise, cohort requirements and faculty availability. Faculty members may accept or decline assignments in line with their availability.
