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 an enthusiastic, dynamic and suitably experienced person to work within our Centre Operations team, located in the Student Services Centre, to support the day-to-day functions of the Student Support, Student Experience and Student Guidance teams.
As a member of the Centre Operations team, your aim will be to provide a professional and customer-focused service that is student-centred, responsive and efficient and supports the wellbeing of all students and staff in a Centre which you will help to ensure is appropriately equipped and well maintained to deliver the services needed. You will provide initial point of contact, information and advice to students, parents/carers, staff and other key stakeholders, including external businesses and employers.
This is a new role within the department which will include particularly close liaison with the Careers, Events and Enrichment teams to support with employer engagement, student work placements and work experience, following up on essential phone calls, communications and leading on administrative support for careers and work experience. You will also form part of the reception and administrative team within the Student Services Centre to act as an initial mental health and wellbeing ‘triage’ for students who may present in distress, supporting wellbeing, de-escalating where possible or signposting to specialist internal staff where needed.
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 37 hours a week, Monday to Friday. Start and finish times are to be agreed upon between the successful applicant and line manager.
Salary: Your salary will be £22,989 per annum. This salary is within grade 4 of the Support Staff pay spine and you have been placed on spine point 11 within that grade. This salary will rise to £25,181 per annum over four years, subject to satisfactory performance. Holiday entitlement is 24 days per annum. This entitlement rises to 29 days after five years’ service.

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.”
