What skills and experience we're looking for
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Teacher to join our experienced team at Vermont Primary School, part of the Aspire Trust.
Aspire is a small but fast paced trust consisting of 9 schools,1 Secondary and 8 primaries. Our family of schools are based in the wonderfully vibrant and diverse City of Southampton, on the South Coast of England. Our trust is based on the co-operative values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. We believe in openness, honesty, social responsibility and caring for others.
Unlike a Multi-Academy Trust, our schools remain autonomous bodies with their own governing bodies and their own Headteachers. Whilst we are all Foundation School that work within the Aspire Community Trust, we also maintain our Local Authority maintained status. This is important – we want to provide a local education that meets the needs of our local context.
At Vermont, our vision is to promote a child centred approach to enable our children to become independent learners who foster a sense of enthusiasm for learning through a range of real-life experiences and practical, hands-on activities.
We are seeking a passionate and experienced EYFS teacher to join our team at Vermont School, a nurturing and inclusive environment catering to children with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. If you are ready for a new challenge and enjoy working with an organisation where no day will be the same, then please apply.
