INSPIRE CREATIVITY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP - JOIN CARDIFF STEINER SCHOOL AS A PART-TIME HARD CRAFT TEACHER

Are you passionate about hands-on creativity and inspired by the art of traditional crafts? Cardiff Steiner School is seeking a skilled and imaginative Part-Time Hard Craft Teacher to become part of our collaborative and creative team.
In this exciting role, you’ll lead and develop the Hard Crafts programme across our Middle and Upper School (ages 14 to 19). Depending on your expertise this could include woodworking, blacksmithing, metalwork, sculpture, stone carving, ceramics, and basketry.
Working within the Steiner Waldorf curriculum and the Certificate of Steiner Education (NZCSE) – a unique, assessment-only qualification recognised by universities – you’ll have the rare opportunity to teach free from the constraints of GCSEs and A-levels. This is your chance to engage students in a meaningful, hands-on, and creative learning journey.
If you’re ready to share your craft and inspire the next generation of makers in a supportive and creative environment, we’d love to hear from you.

ABOUT US

Set in Wales’ capital city, the School offers a full Kindergarten to Class 12 Steiner Waldorf education. Founded in 1997, we opened our Lower School in 2012, built upon the firm foundations of 15 years as a successful Kindergarten. From strong roots we quickly grew, and expanded to Upper School in September 2017 offering the New Zealand Certificate of Steiner Education (NZCSE), with our first Class 12 graduating with the Certificate in 2021.
The NZCSE is the first trans-national, secondary school qualification to be fully based on the Steiner curriculum. It’s a valid, alternative qualification, equivalent to A Levels and the International Baccalaureate, recognised by UCAS and accepted by UK and international universities. The NZCSE is the most widely offered qualification in UK Steiner Schools that offer a full K-Class 12 Steiner Waldorf education.
We are a pioneering team with an irrepressible spirit who enjoy rising to the challenges and celebrating the joys that a young School brings. Our internationally diverse teaching team includes subject teachers in Bothmer, Music, Handwork, Craft, Spanish, Games, as well as a team of specialist Upper School Teachers.
We are a small school by design, with a collaborative staff team, supportive families and a strong community spirit. Our teachers are at the heart of our success and we have developed a strong culture of collaboration where staff are valued and your input, enthusiasm and talents will be welcomed and appreciated. You’ll benefit from a professional development programme of mentoring, peer observation and training in delivery of the NZCSE.
We operate a two-year combined class system and you will have the advice and support of teachers experienced in working with the pedagogical needs of combined classes.
We are a Waldorf UK full member School, and are fully independent.
