*Please note, as a Sixth Form College, our term dates are different to the standard Hampshire County Council dates which effects the start and finish of our summer holiday period.  Our summer holidays start earlier than other primary and secondary schools in Southampton/Hampshire and our term time only staff are required to return to work for the start of the Autumn term earlier than schools.  For example, in this particular post, our staff started their summer holiday effective from Monday 13th July 2020 and they are required to return on Monday 17th August 2020.  Please ensure that you are able to work these dates prior to applying for the role.  Most other College holidays align with Schools including Christmas, Easter and the half term breaks.  

All successful candidates will be required to complete an enhanced DBS disclosure.
