Maintenance Assistant

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Maintenance Assistant to join our experienced team at Vermont Primary School, a small special school for children with SEMH as the primary area of need on their EHCP. There may be opportunity for this role to develop over the next 12 -18 months as we look to expand the school to a bigger site.

We are seeking a passionate and experienced individual 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.

We are part of the Aspire Community Trust, which is a small but fast paced trust consisting of 9 schools,1 secondary and 8 primaries. Our family of schools are based in the 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 Schools 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.
