TEACHER OF BUSINESS

Required to start 1 September 2023

Full time position or part-time positions available, Fixed-Term post for one year until 31 August 2024

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 96% of employees would “recommend BHASVIC as a good place to work” and many of our students go on to Higher Education.

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, committed, and skilful teacher to contribute to the teaching of A Level and/or BTEC L3 Business, and we will consider applicants seeking full-time or part-time positions.

This post has arisen because of increasing numbers of students wanting to study Business and Economics at BHASVIC.

This is a fixed term post from 1 September 2023 until 31 August 2024 in order to provide teaching to increase number of students taking A Level and/or BTEC Business.

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 £28,125 to £44,256 per annum (depending upon experience). This will be pro rata based on your FTE.

Our Business provision falls within the Business and Economics department, led by Head of Department, Andy Shepherd.  The department is a large, experienced, and dynamic team of staff, currently comprising eleven mostly full-time teachers.  Teachers follow a common scheme of work and there is a very clear philosophy of collaborative teaching and learning.  All assessment resources are generated collectively and shared across the department.  This appointment, therefore, is ideal for a teacher whose background might be in 11-16 schools, who is seeking to extend their experience of A level and level 3 BTEC teaching in a fully supportive environment.  Similarly, experienced A level or BTEC teachers would flourish in the stimulating company of expert practitioners.

Student outcomes in Business are outstanding.  High grade rates [A*-B, and D*-Ds] for both courses hover around 68% each year with equally consistent ALPS, value-added levels. More of our students than any other subject area go on to Higher Education, with many winning places at elite Russel Group institutions.  We are ambitious for all our students and aim to develop their knowledge, skills, and experience in a stimulating learning environment.  We deploy varied strategies of teaching, learning, motivation and tracking so that all students can access the understanding and knowledge needed to prepare them effectively for examination and beyond.  Similarly, we are inclusive, supportive, and work very closely with the college’s pastoral and ALS [Additional Learning Support] teams to help every student, irrespective of their characteristics, achieve their potential.  All teachers have “subject extension” time as part of their contract which is dedicated to individual and small group support in addition to their timetable. We are lucky to have six dedicated classrooms, each with an interactive whiteboard, and one with a suit of PCs.

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.

We have a strong local reputation for the academic success of our students and for our focus on individuals’ needs.

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.
