ADMINISTRATION ASSISTANT - CURRICULUM & QUALITY

Permanent, Full or Part time, Term Time Only (39 weeks per year)

Required to start mid-late September 2022

We are seeking to appoint a highly literate, calm and friendly administrator, with IT skills and a positive ‘can do’ outlook. You will provide a range of diary, administrative and information support services to our Curriculum and Quality Team (CQT). You will need previous experience in an office environment and must be accurate in the use of written English and Microsoft Office software. You will have excellent organisational skills and will be able to work using your own initiative, prioritising your tasks effectively to meet deadlines.

The successful candidate will support CQT which is led by the Deputy Principal, along with our 3 Heads of Faculty; this team directs and manages curriculum provision across the College, ensuring it meets the needs of students and maintains our highest standards. The role is varied and interesting and will contribute to the significant positive impact the college has on young people’s lives, outcomes and their personal development.

You will work with various College teams using a wide range of software packages. You will receive full training and support on these as required but must be experienced in the use of Word, Excel, Microsoft Outlook and be ready to learn other, similar communications software and platforms. 

At BHASVIC we have a wonderful, collaborative working environment. We are one of the top-performing colleges in the country, situated in the cosmopolitan seaside city of Brighton & Hove. As a successful and thriving Sixth Form College with around 3,300 students and over 300 staff we offer a good working environment and a busy yet informal atmosphere. 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.

This is a permanent position, working between 20 and 37 hours a week - precise days and times to be agreed with you as part of the recruitment process. The role is during term time, so you will not need to be at work during the school holidays (BHASVIC holidays are the same as primary and secondary schools in the city). 

Should you accept the role working 37 hours per week, the pro-rata salary for this post is £17,453 per annum, which includes 4.7 weeks of holiday pay. This is based on spine point 8 within grade 3 of the support staff pay spine for which the current full-time salary is £20,771. This salary will rise to £18,701 (based on a full-time salary of £22,254) per annum over three years, subject to satisfactory performance. Holiday entitlement is 24 days per annum. This entitlement rises to 29 days after five years’ service.  These amounts would be pro-rated should you wish to work reduced hours.

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.

  • A family friendly approach to help achieve a healthy work/life balance.
  • Membership of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme for all our teaching staff.
  • Membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme for all our support staff.
