Job overview
Part-time, temporary for one year
We have an exciting opportunity to appoint an enthusiastic, committed and suitably experienced Personal Tutor to work within our Guidance and Student Services teams.
Guidance is at the heart of the student experience at BHASVIC. Personal Tutors support students to make the most of their time with us and to ensure they are successful in their studies, make well informed decisions about their educational choices and future plans, leading to the best outcomes for the individual.
Personal Tutors form a large team of over 40 staff who work closely with students, parents, teachers and other staff across the College in providing pastoral support to students. The role will involve guiding BHASVIC students through their induction, progress on their courses and their next steps after BHASVIC. Personal Tutors deliver the tutorial programme in classes of 22 to all students in the College, as well as seeing students on a one-to-one basis.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who currently works in a teaching or advisory position and wants to further their career in the delivery of education in a highly creative and dynamic department. The Personal Tutoring role does not require qualified teacher status and is an ideal opportunity to gain professional experience towards moving into the teaching profession. If you do not hold a teaching qualification, you will be expected to study a Level 3 qualification within the first two years of taking up the post, should the temporary role continue into further years of employment. The College will pay for your tuition fees. You will be appointed to the teachers’ pay spine as detailed below.
Personal Tutoring is on the National Sixth Form College’s teacher pay, terms and conditions.
The current full time salary range for qualified teachers is £21,901 to £32,053 per annum (depending upon experience). The current full time salary range for teachers who have qualified for the Professional Standards Payment is £34,726 to £37,378 per annum.
The College is seeking to appoint Personal Tutors, part time, delivering between 6 and 10 hours of teaching per week. Exact contracts, including hours, days, start and finish times worked will be explored at interview and negotiated with successful candidates following the offer of a position. As an indicator of what part-time terms would look like, a full-time teacher delivers 23 hours of teaching across five full days. Examples of how part time roles would work are:
- 06 hrs over 1.5 days (full-time equivalent of 0.26)
- 08 hrs over 2 days (full-time equivalent of 0.33)
- 10 hrs over 2.5 days (full-time equivalent of 0.43)

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.”
