We are one of the top-performing sixth form 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. As a successful and thriving community of around 3,800 students and 350 staff, we offer a good working environment and a busy yet informal atmosphere. Our students and staff are inclusive, 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. Whatever the varying roles of staff, we all work towards the College’s aim of bringing out the best in our students by providing a high-quality learning experience in a supportive and stimulating environment.

The composition of this role’s responsibilities can be seen in the organisational diagrams that follow. The successful candidate will teach a minimum of 8contact hours per week.
