Full job description
Overview
Alphonsa Residential School in Kottayam, Kerala is on the lookout for a HOD Science. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery. Alphonsa Residential School in Kottayam, Kerala operates as a senior secondary school, established 1972, — a ICSE / CISCE-affiliated school. A settled, professional environment with clear academic systems, structured staff meetings, and steady infrastructure investment. Role: as HOD Science, you work closely with the Principal on academic and operational decisions — leading a section/team, driving teacher development, overseeing assessments, and holding the line on standards. Day to day, you will:
- Run faculty meetings, academic reviews, and section-level planning.
- Observe classes, give actionable feedback, follow up on teacher development.
- Approve calendars, assessment papers, and major parent communication.
- Engage with leadership on hiring, budgets, and infrastructure needs.
- Spend time on the floor — corridors, classrooms, labs — to read the school accurately. Qualifications and skills:
- Master's degree with a recognised teaching/leadership qualification.
- Track record of leading improvement at section or school level.
- Hiring, coaching, performance management, and conflict resolution skills.
- Solid grasp of curriculum, assessment, and parent communication.
- High professional integrity and a clear communication style. What we offer:
- Competitive, on-time salary (₹10.2 LPA – ₹17.1 LPA).
- Defined working hours aligned with the school timetable.
- Investment in your growth — training, mentorship, peer learning.
- A respectful work environment focused on outcomes.
- Access to school resources, libraries, labs, and digital tools. Submit your application here so Alphonsa Residential School can shortlist you alongside the active pool. Strong profiles move to a brief teaching demo and a discussion with the academic head.
