Overview

Citadel Residential School in Pathanamthitta, Kerala is on the lookout for a HOD Commerce. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery. Citadel Residential School in Pathanamthitta, Kerala operates as a senior secondary school, established 1992, — a CBSE-affiliated school. A settled, professional environment with clear academic systems, structured staff meetings, and steady infrastructure investment. Position: as HOD Commerce, you are part of the school's leadership group. The role demands strong judgement, calm execution, and a clear point of view on what good schooling looks like.

  • Observe classes, give actionable feedback, follow up on teacher development.
  • Approve calendars, assessment papers, and major parent communication.

  • Senior educator with a balanced view of academics and operations.
  • Proven ability to mentor teachers and improve outcomes over time.
  • Strong stakeholder management — board, parents, regulators, vendors.
  • Comfortable with data — assessments, attendance, faculty metrics.
  • A long-term thinker who can also execute well in the short term. What we offer:
  • Competitive, on-time salary (₹13.0 LPA – ₹24.0 LPA).
  • Defined working hours aligned with the school timetable.
  • Investment in your growth — training, mentorship, peer learning.
