We are also proud that we are a supporter of the Good Employment Charter.
The West of England Good Employment Charter is a voluntary accreditation scheme that aims to improve employment standards in the West of England for organisations of all sizes and sectors, including the college, through characteristics that will raise the value and quality of work.
The Charter supports organisations to become ‘employers of choice’, so that they can achieve better productivity and growth, staff retention, and recruit top talent.
Further information about our benefits can be found in our Employee Benefits Booklet.
City of Bristol College is committed to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults, and all new employees to the college are required to obtain an enhanced DBS disclosure. Further information will be sent as part of the application process.
