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 individual to work as part of the Guidance Management Team. As a full-time Guidance Manager, you will be responsible for ensuring that students have excellent pastoral support in relation to a wide range of issues and needs including academic progress, personal development, behaviour and welfare, careers progression and safeguarding. You will work with the Head of Student Experience to lead and support a team of Personal Tutors, assisting and supervising them in their casework to achieve excellent outcomes for students. You will also have your own two tutor groups and contribute to the tutorial programme.
You will join a Guidance team consisting of six Guidance Managers and a Head of Guidance with an emphasis on collaborative working and sharing best practice. Guidance Managers are allocated their own office space to facilitate confidential casework, whilst regular team meetings, group supervision and cross-college work ensure the Guidance team are supported in their work and are at the heart of the college community. As a member of the Guidance team, you will work closely with other teams from across the college and particularly closely with the Safeguarding, Welfare and Student Support team, Enrichment, Employability and Experience team, as well as our curriculum departments.
In addition to core duties, each Guidance Manager leads on specialist cross-college areas of provision which are agreed annually amongst the team. Current cross-college responsibilities likely to be available to include Student Wellbeing and First Year Transition & Progression.
Contract: Fixed term to cover maternity leave until 31 August 2023 or the return on the permanent post holder, if earlier
Salary: £36,546 per annum which will rise to £39315 per annum over four years subject to satisfactory performance. This salary is within Grade 8 of the support staff pay spine. Holiday entitlement is 29 days per annum, the majority of which will normally be taken outside usual term time. This entitlement rises to 34 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.”
