SVCC is Committed to Equal Opportunity and Complies with Americans with Disabilities Act

Our College is committed to providing equal employment and educational opportunity for all employees, job applicants and students without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, political affiliation, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or other non-merit factors.  

Southside Virginia Community College complies with the Americans with Disabilities Acts (ADA and ADAAA), to provide reasonable accommodation to applicants in need of access to the application, interviewing, and selection processes when requested.

Equal opportunity extends to all aspects of employment including hiring, transfers, promotions, training, terminations, working conditions, compensation, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment.  SVCC complies with federal and state equal employment opportunity laws and strives to keep the workplace free from all forms of unlawful discrimination, including harassment and retaliation.

Unlawful discrimination in any form is a serious offense that will not be tolerated in state employment.  The Department of Human Resource Management's Policies and Procedures Manual sets forth the relevant policies of the Commonwealth.  If you believe you are a victim of unlawful discrimination, several avenues of redress are available to you, including filing a complaint with SVCC's EEO Coordinator, Vice President of Finance and Administration at 434-949-1005, the grievance procedure, and the state and federal discrimination complaint processes.

  • Attention Applicants

    We are now accepting the online version of employment applications through the Commonwealth of Virginia's new State Recruitment Management System/Virginia Jobs, also known as RMS.

    Individuals must submit applications electronically through the State Recruitment Management System website.  Applicants must create an RMS user account to apply. Once users create an account, they may create a state application and apply for the vacancy. Applications saved on RMS will be available for future use. There is a tutorial available on the RMS website to assist users.

    A criminal background check is required of the final candidate.

    Please send questions regarding the application process via email to HR@southside.edu. Thank you!

  • Alternative Hiring Process

    In support of the Commonwealth's commitment to inclusion, we are encouraging individuals with disabilities to apply through the Commonwealth Alternative Hiring Process (AHP).  The AHP is established as part of a comprehensive strategy to increase employment of individuals with disabilities within state government.

    An applicant with a disability as defined in Code of Virginia 51.5-40.1 and who has an approved AHP letter (formerly COD) provided by the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS), or the Department for the Blind and Vision Impaired (DBVI) is eligible for participation in the Alternative Hiring Process.

    An AHP applicant must apply to get an AHP Letter (formerly COD) from DARS/DBVI by providing acceptable documentation/records that they have a disability/diagnosis as defined in the Code of Virginia.  The applicant does not have to be receiving services from DARS/DBVI at the time to apply for the AHP Letter.  The AHP Letter will not disclose the type of disability/diagnosis.  The name change to AHP Letter became effective on March 1, 2024.

    Meeting the criteria for participation in the Alternative Hiring Process does not preclude individuals from applying competitively for other state jobs.

    Applicants may apply for wage or classified positions through the Recruitment Management System (RMS).  The applicant must designate certification for AHP and submit a copy of their AHP Letter with their employment application.

    For more information, please refer to the Alternative Hiring Process Guidance document and the Frequently Asked Questions.
