Salon Coordinator in Brighton

Brighton MET College, part of the Chichester College Group, is looking for a Salon Coordinator on a term time only basis, who will be responsible for supervising the reception area, taking all bookings, retailing, assessing students on their reception units, and overseeing the general day-to-day running and marketing of our commercial salons.

The College’s Salons are where the Hair, Barbering and Beauty students have the chance to work in a realistic working salon, providing services and retailing to members of the public, college staff and college students. The salons operate in a similar way to any commercial salon.

As our Salon Coordinator, you will be required to work flexibly as our facilities will be open throughout the day, in the evening and there is a possibility they will be open some weekends in the future. Whilst you will predominantly work within the reception area, you may also be required to support elsewhere within the hair and beauty department on occasion.

Our Staff Benefits:

• Local Government Pension Scheme – the Group contributes 20.4% of your actual pensionable pay.
• 25 days annual leave, increasing to 28 days in line with continuous service, plus bank holidays and college closure days over the Christmas period which are not deducted from annual leave entitlement (paid as part of the salary for Term-Time-Only roles) and a wellbeing day. Plus, the opportunity to purchase up to 5 days additional leave.
• Discount schemes – including discounts on shopping, restaurants, travel and onsite facilities such as our gym and First Steps Childcare nurseries (specific campuses only).
• Family friendly policies – including enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption pay (dependant on continuous service).
• Continuous professional development opportunities – including development days, funded apprenticeships and access to a range of other courses and activities.
