Job overview
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 looking to appoint enthusiastic and well-organised teachers who can contribute to this successful and thriving department and who, in return, will join a vibrant college community which is open, friendly, and supportive.
We are specifically seeking to appoint Adult Evening Language Tutors of French, Spanish, German and Italian, but we would also welcome applications for Arabic, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese (European), and Swedish.
Adult Evening Languages Provision
The department has over 600 students and offers a wide range of non-accredited courses in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish, ranging from holiday beginner level through to advanced level. Specialising in the communicative language approach, the department has an excellent team of dedicated Evening Language Tutors who are committed to developing their teaching and learning strategies and supporting their learners.
All classes have a maximum of 16 students; classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards and speakers, and laptops are also provided for the tutors for use in lessons.
The Evening Language Courses Manager is responsible for leading the Adult Language provision, with support from a Head of Faculty. The Manager oversees the operational running of the provision, including enrolments and on-course administration, and ensures that satisfaction surveys are carried out. The Manager also has responsibility for liaising with students and tutors and ensures the day-to-day running of the provision.
Benefits: Join us and you can expect competitive pay and an excellent pension scheme, family-friendly working and a collaborative culture where ideas take flight together. Our Cycle to Work scheme, free counselling and occupational health service, discounted gym memberships and staff wellbeing events will keep you sharp, whilst our tailored induction programme and investment in your professional development – along with the possibility of funding for additional qualifications and to even take a sabbatical – will ensure an exciting future.
Hours: Our part-time Adult Evening Language Courses will run from the end of September/start of October 2024 until June 2025, and there is a possibility of teaching between one and four evenings a week (Monday to Thursday, class times 6.30pm to 8.30pm), subject to student numbers. We also open additional courses in January and April, so there might be an opportunity to take on more teaching in the future.
Contract: When a course becomes available, you will be offered a fixed-term contract for the duration of the course.
Salary: The current salary is £27.98 per hour. Your hourly rate is paid only for actual hours worked but takes into account such additional time that may be needed to enable you to discharge your duties effectively, including lesson preparation, schemes of work, marking, keeping records and assessment.
You are also entitled to 5.6 weeks of holiday pay (pro rata based on the duration of your fixed-term contract). This will be calculated based on your average hours worked per week and will be paid to you as a lump sum at the end of the contract. This will be shown on your payslip as holiday pay.

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.”
