Job overview

We are one of the top-performing colleges in the country, situated in the cosmopolitan seaside city of Brighton & Hove. Working here offers the combination of both a wonderful place to work and a great city in which to live. Our students and staff are colourful, aspirational and hard-working – which is perhaps why 96% of employees would “recommend BHASVIC as a good place to work”, and many of our students go on to Higher Education.

We are seeking to appoint a highly literate, calm and friendly administrator with IT skills and a positive ‘can do’ outlook. You will provide a range of diary, administrative and information support services to our Curriculum and Quality Team (CQT). You will need previous experience in an office environment and must be accurate in the use of written English and Microsoft Office software. You will have excellent organisational skills and will be able to work using your own initiative, prioritising your tasks effectively to meet deadlines.

Joining us, you will support the CQT, which is led by the Deputy Principal, along with our three Heads of Faculty; this team directs and manages curriculum provision across the college, ensuring it meets the needs of students and maintains our highest standards. The role is varied and interesting and will contribute to the significant positive impact the college has on young people’s lives, outcomes and personal development.

You will work with various college teams using a wide range of software packages. You will receive full training and support on these as required but must be experienced in the use of Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook and be ready to learn other, similar communications software and platforms. 

Benefits: Join us and you can expect competitive pay and an excellent pension scheme, family-friendly working and a collaborative culture where ideas take flight together. Our Cycle to Work scheme, free counselling and occupational health service, discounted gym memberships and staff wellbeing events will keep you sharp, whilst our tailored induction programme and investment in your professional development – along with the possibility of funding for additional qualifications and to even take a sabbatical – will ensure an exciting future.

Contract/Hours: This is a permanent position, working between 20 and 37 hours a week – precise days and times to be agreed with you as part of the recruitment process. The role is during term time, so you will not need to be at work during the school holidays (BHASVIC holidays are the same as primary and secondary schools in the city). 

Salary: Should you accept the role working 37 hours per week, the pro-rata salary for this post is £17,453 per annum, which includes 4.7 weeks of holiday pay. This is based on spine point 8 within grade 3 of the support staff pay spine for which the current full-time salary is £20,771. This salary will rise to £18,701 (based on a full-time salary of £22,254) per annum over three years, subject to satisfactory performance. Holiday entitlement is 24 days per annum. This entitlement rises to 29 days after five years’ service. These amounts would be pro-rated should you wish to work reduced hours.

Closing date: 9am on Monday 4 July 2022

Interview date: Monday 11 July 2022

For applicants who are invited to interview, there will be ample opportunity to learn more about our provision and needs through discussions with staff. The person specification will be assessed on the day of the interview via some desktop tasks and a verbal interview. Your application will also form part of the decision-making.

BHASVIC is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. 

About Brighton Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College

Brighton Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College, otherwise known as BHASVIC, is a co-educational sixth form college for around 3,000 students aged 16-19. The college was founded in its current form in 1975, having formerly been a grammar school. In recent years, the college has seen extensive redevelopment and modernisation, and as such can now boast of a range of modern teaching and recreational facilities including, most recently, an £8m new building opened in 2020, providing specialist media and performing arts spaces, along with state of the art science labs. BHASVIC is consistently in the top 1% of all state providers in terms of both raw results (A level A*-B grades are +70%) and Value Added (A level = +0.48). Students come from over 60 different schools, with 50% of students coming from Brighton and Hove. Students study from over 40 subject courses at A level and level 3 BTEC, alongside Maths and English GCSE and a diverse range of portfolio and enrichment courses.

Values and Vision

Our Vision at BHASVIC is to be a Contemporary Creative Learning Community. We achieve outstanding levels of performance based on a culture of learning that allows all students to achieve above and beyond what they think is possible. We provide a broad and balanced all-round education, enabling students to develop as independent, confident and well-informed young adults capable of contributing to and questioning the world around them, regardless of the mix of subjects and qualifications they study. We aim to cultivate a ‘High Challenge and Low Threat’ culture where we strive for the highest possible standards, where staff and students are supported, valued and developed as individuals in a safe environment, knowing that their own well-being is key to our success. We provide a stimulating educational and social environment, with attractive, modern facilities and resources including excellent ILT provision. We encourage creative, innovative, collaborative and reflective approaches to all that we do. We are an inclusive and accepting college where every individual feels part of a community and where we play an active role in our local community to help raise standards and aspirations. We are an efficient, fair and intelligently managed organisation that achieves value for money and functions on a sound business basis with robust financial management.

Ofsted

“Learners make excellent progress, and in some cases exceptional progress. Most do much better than might be expected from their prior achievements when they join the college. This added value is a consistently strong feature of the college since the previous inspection when it was highlighted as a key strength for A level learners. It is particularly noteworthy given the relatively high attainment of learners when they start their courses.”
