The Class Teacher plays a very important role in this age-appropriate education, and usually continues with the class through several years of their primary school journey, often from Class 1 through to Class 6 and further. With this approach, the teacher gets to know the children’s strengths and needs deeply, and thus supports a positive social dynamic in the classroom.

The suitable candidate must be proficient and fluent in English and show:

• A willingness to grow with a young school following the Rudolf Steiner methodology
• A deep interest in children and their development
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with teachers and parents
• The candidate must be a team-player who is also a self-starter
• Enjoy a collaborative working environment
• Be committed to professional and inner development
• Show respect for local customs and culture

Qualification Requirements:

• An undergraduate degree and a certificate in Waldorf primary school teaching
• Having completed a Primary School Waldorf cycle will be advantageous
• Salary commensurate with experience
