We can offer:

• Happy and enthusiastic staff and students who are proud of their college.

• A friendly and motivated staff team.
• A positive learning environment where young adults thrive in an outstanding college.
• A collaborative and inclusive culture.
• A committed, hardworking team who strive to provide the best education for all students
• Comprehensive induction and probation support and regular opportunities for professional development and growth.
• We offer 10 staff training days across the academic year; one or two of these days may be aggregated which means you complete training outside of normal working hours in twilight sessions.
• Employee Assistance Programme via BHSF – free totally confidential support.
• Access to discounts and offers via BHSF.
• Access to a generous pension scheme known as the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) for support staff or Teachers Pension Scheme for Teachers.
• Generous annual leave entitlement for support staff based on length of service, starting at 29 days pro-rata, rising to 32 at 5 years’ plus service and 34 following 10 years’ plus service. Teachers annual leave is in line with Teachers Pay & Conditions.
• Onsite parking at all sites.
• We are the only Trust to provide SEN Allowances to ALL roles who work with students, including Teachers, TA’s, Care Assistants, Pastoral Care, Guides and Drivers.

If you are determined, ambitious, hardworking and you meet our requirements, then we would love to hear from you.

This post is covered by Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) and therefore the ability to speak fluent English is an essential requirement of the role.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975, 2013 and 2020 Which means that when applying for certain jobs and activities certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’, so they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account.
