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 looking for an enthusiastic person to join our busy Exams team.
The Exam team consists of three members of staff, and the main duties of this role are to assist the Exams Manager with ensuring the smooth running of all aspects of internal and external examinations.
You will need experience of similar work in an office environment. It is essential that you have strong communication skills, are exceptionally organised, remain calm under pressure, have good time management skills and work well as a team. Due to the nature of this role, flexibility is required during busy exam periods.
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 18.5 hours a week on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. The exact start and end times can be agreed upon with the Line Manager, but the days are not flexible. The post has become available due to an existing member of the team reducing her hours, and she will be working Wednesday afternoons, Thursdays and Fridays. There will be time set aside on Wednesdays to ensure a smooth handover between the two Exams Assistants. Due to the nature of this role, flexibility is required during busy exam periods.
Salary: The pro-rata starting salary for this post is £10,385 per annum. 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 will increase annually up to £11,127 per annum over three years subject to satisfactory performance. Holiday entitlement is 24 days per annum for a full-time member of staff. This entitlement rises to 29 days after five years’ service. This will be pro rata based on your working hours.

Closing date: 9am on Tuesday 12 July 2022
Interview date: w/c 18 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.
BHASVIC is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Brighton Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College, otherwise known as BHASVIC, is a co-educational sixth form college for around 3,500 students aged 16-19.

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. 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.”
