Are you enthusiastic about promoting a love of learning and engage in development of your own and others' practice? Nant-y-Cwm Steiner School is seeking a committed and inspiring teacher to join our passionate and welcoming teaching team in the Main School.

The role of Class Teacher holds overall responsibility both for the pastoral care of the class and for the academic progress of the children. You will be supported in this by the other Class Teachers and Subject Teachers. You will have the ability to inspire children through your creative delivery of Steiner-Waldorf education and curriculum.
