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 94% of employees would “recommend BHASVIC as a good place to work” and many of our students go on to Higher Education.

We have vacancy for a Language Assistant to work with a maximum of 4 of students for 30 minutes each week. You will directly contribute to helping students develop their oral skills and confidence in French and help prepare them for their oral examination. 

As a college, we are ambitious for our students and we are seeking to appoint staff who can bring the right blend of flexibility, commitment and energy to the post. 

Contract/hours: Fixed term until August 2020 due to a staff member taking a year out. Part-time, term time  contract, with a range of  8 and 10 hours per week. Your actual hours within your range will be agreed with the Head of Department at the beginning of each academic year, depending upon the number of students. These hours are to be worked across three days but there is some flexibility in the arrangements. The post will be worked across 36 weeks per year (during term time, the exact weeks to be agreed). 

The pro rata salary for this post will range between £4,049 per annum (for 8 hours) up to £5,061 per annum (for 10 hours) and includes 4.3 weeks of holiday pay. This salary is based on spine point 30 within grade 6 of the support staff pay spine, for which the current full time salary is £24,162 per annum. 

As a college, we are ambitious for our students and we are seeking to appoint staff who can bring the right blend of flexibility, commitment, energy and vision. We welcome applications from teachers with ideas, enthusiasm and strong teaching ability, who can work within the diverse demands of the department whilst maintaining its recognised strengths and attributes.

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.

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.”
