Blue Ridge Community College provides its employees with a meaningful employment experience and is an equal access and equal opportunity employer (See BRCC Policies and Procedures 2.23.1).
Full-time Faculty
Full-time faculty vacancies are announced on the College website with instructions on the procedures to make application. Announcements include position title and purpose, minimum educational and work experience qualifications, essential functions and responsibilities, additional duties and responsibilities, probable work schedule, proposed starting date, application requirements, and equal employment opportunity statements. Application must be made through BRCC’s online application system and should be accompanied by unofficial transcripts and a current résumé.
For each vacancy, a selection committee is established. In the case of curriculum faculty positions, this committee is a diverse group—faculty and/or staff—and chosen to serve based on related skills sets, similar duties and responsibilities, and education requirements of the position being filled. Committee members review all application packets and select the most qualified candidates for interview based on the job description and stated requirements. The hiring manager makes the recommendation of the successful candidate to the Vice President for Instruction. The recommendation is then sent to the Human Resources Director for employment verification and salary computation. The computation is sent to the Vice President for review and approval, and then onto the President for approval. The offer is then made to the successful candidate by the Human Resources Director. All offers are made contingent of a successful criminal background check. The President presents the name of all newly hired employee, along with salary, at the first meeting of the Board following employment.
