TEACHERS OF GEOGRAPHY

Post 1: Fixed term (Maternity Cover), Full time

To start 1 September 2021 to March 2022 (or return of the current post holder if earlier)

Post 2: Permanent, Part time (with an FTE of 0.6087, equivalent to teaching 14 hours per week)

To start 1 September 2021

We are seeking to appoint enthusiastic, experienced and well organised teachers to contribute to the teaching of Geography at A Level.

The BHASVIC Corporation has adopted the conditions of service and salary scales applicable to sixth form colleges. The current full-time salary range for qualified teachers is £25,570 to £41,732 per annum (depending upon experience).

The Humanities department offers well established courses in Geography, Modern History, Early Modern History, Classical Civilisation and History of Art.  We are well resourced, occupying a suite of rooms for the majority of our teaching, with an extensive departmental library and an expanding range of online resources accessible through the college VLE and Microsoft Teams.

Geography is a proven and popular subject at BHASVIC with over 300 students currently following the EdExcel specification for the new Linear A Level. The course currently focuses on Coasts, Globalisation, Tectonics and Regenerating Places in the first year. Second year students undertake the NEA Independent Study, and look at Migration, Identity and Sovereignty, Water and Water Insecurity, Carbon and Energy security and Superpowers. There are currently one full-time and three part-time members of staff teaching on the course. 

Geography has a long tradition of strong exam results and high levels of retention. We are committed to inclusive learning. All groups are mixed ability, some taught by a single teacher and others shared between two teachers. We are keen to extend our existing departmental strategies concerning formative assessment, flipped and active learning, and differentiation. There is a strong team ethos and much planning and resourcing is carried out collectively. Above all we aim to engender enthusiasm for the study of the world, both in its own right and in its contribution to the development of motivated, reflective and independent-minded young people

The department has a strong ethos for encouraging student enthusiasm.  A wide variety of trips and lectures after college are normally offered to students.  It is expected that the new members of the team will continue to develop the provision on offer, and work with us to adapt our provision to these unusual times.

Company

We are a successful Sixth Form College, graded as Outstanding by Ofsted in 2012.

About 50% of our students come from Brighton and Hove, but many come from other state and independent schools throughout Sussex. The same variety of backgrounds, cultures and interests that make the Brighton area unique, also makes the College a lively, stimulating place to work.

There are approximately 2500 students on roll, of whom the vast majority (approximately 99%) follow Level 3 courses (mostly AS, A levels or BTECs) with the remainder following ESOL courses. The vast majority of our students are in the 16-19 age range, and following full-time courses. We have a strong local reputation for the academic success of our students and for our focus on individuals’ needs.

We are very proud of the achievements of our students and very much value the individual contribution that each of our staff make to our continuing success.  Our last staff satisfaction survey found that nearly 90% of staff at BHASVIC enjoyed their job. 

The College is within walking distance of Brighton town centre, Brighton train station and is on a main bus route.  Please note that there is limited parking on the College campus and parking permits are allocated according to the distance you have to travel to work.
