About You

You’ll join our dedicated Learning Support Team and work closely with the Class Teacher and School ALNCo to provide 1-1 support for educational, social and emotional development, in line with the pupil’s Individual Development Plan (IDP). This rewarding role will suit someone with a deep interest in supporting children with additional learning needs, and the patience, empathy and understanding to help children achieve their potential.

You should have a sound track record of supporting individual children, ideally at middle school age, and will see beyond simply providing help, focusing more on enabling independent learning and progress. You will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to quickly build strong relationships with children. With a real interest in Steiner Education and developing your practice, you’ll have the enthusiasm and willingness to learn about the principles of Steiner Education and work within them.

About Us

Cardiff Steiner School is a dynamic and growing, independent Steiner School. Steiner Education is the largest and fastest growing independent school system in the world. It offers an inspiring and nurturing education based on the needs of the whole child – academic, physical, emotional and spiritual. Our distinctive, international curriculum integrates arts and academics into a rich, balanced education that ignites a lifelong passion for learning.

The School currently has pupils from Kindergarten to Class 8/9, with the school growing with them up to Class 12 by 2020. You’ll join us on an exciting stage of our journey. Founded in 1997, we opened our first classes in 2012, built upon the firm foundations of 15 years as a successful Kindergarten. From strong roots we’ve quickly grown, and opened our Upper School for age 14 to 18/19 in September 2017.

We are offering the Certificate of Steiner Education (NZCSE) – the first trans-national, secondary school qualification to be fully based on the Steiner curriculum. It is a valid, alternative secondary school qualification that allows students to progress to further/higher education, free from the pressure of GCSE and A level curricula and examinations.
We are a pioneering bunch 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 (movement), Music, Handwork, Woodwork, Spanish, Games, as well as a team of specialist Upper School Teachers.  We are a UK Steiner Waldorf School Fellowship Associate School, and are fully independent.

Cardiff Steiner School is committed to safeguarding children and young people, we expect all applicants to uphold this. All candidates must have suitability to work with children, and post holders are subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure Barring Service check.
