VERNON, Connecticut – The Vernon Public Schools will host a job fair on Thursday, November 4th, 2021 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Rockville High School library/media center to fill a variety of open positions.
There are multiple positions open, including for special education teachers, nurses, bus drivers, paraeducators, school climate specialists, cafeteria workers and an electrician and custodian. The Vernon Public Schools offer competitive pay and top-notch benefits, including health insurance and retirement.
Vernon Public Schools staff will be on hand to answer questions, discuss career paths in education and conduct immediate on-site interviews with people who attend.
“If you want to work in a great community with dedicated staff and learn and grow as a professional, that is something we offer in Vernon,” said Assistant Superintendent of Schools and Human Resources Director Robert Testa. “We have high expectations of our staff, but also offer a high level of support.”
Testa, who has worked in the Vernon Public Schools for 18 years, said he has stayed because every day he knows he has the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to students.
“You want to be in a place where you feel you can make a difference and I believe Vernon offers that opportunity,” he said.
Although in schools much of the focus is on teachers, every employee plays a role in educating Vernon’s children, said Vernon Superintendent Dr. Joseph P. Macary.
“Every member of our team contributes to student success,” Macary said. “Teachers, paras, climate specialists, school bus drivers, custodians and cafeteria workers help make our award winning schools safe, welcoming and dynamic places where students can be and do their best. The Vernon Public Schools are a great place to work because we are building the future.”
