Job description

Overview

DAV Public School, Kumarsain & Kumarsain in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh is on the lookout for a HOD Humanities. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery. DAV Public School, Kumarsain & Kumarsain, established 1992, runs as a senior secondary campus in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh — a CBSE-affiliated school. The school believes a strong campus is built on its teachers and works to be a place where faculty want to stay. About the role: the HOD Humanities is a senior position blending academic leadership with operational ownership — running reviews, mentoring teachers, handling escalations, and representing the school externally. Responsibilities:

  • Lead the assigned section/department on academic and operational matters.
  • Mentor teachers through observation, feedback, and development plans.
  • Oversee assessment cycles, result analysis, and improvement plans.
  • Handle parent escalations professionally and represent the school externally.
  • Drive a culture of academic rigour, discipline, and student wellbeing. Candidate requirements:
  • 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. Why join us:
  • Predictable, on-time monthly compensation (₹11.4 LPA – ₹24.5 LPA).
  • Reasonable workload with planned holidays per the calendar.
  • Real ownership of your subject/function from day one.
  • A leadership team that listens, supports, and gives credit.
  • A campus that respects educators as professionals. Apply through the platform using the button above; your profile lands with DAV Public School, Kumarsain & Kumarsain instantly. Candidates who meet the brief are invited for interviews within the week.

Common questions about this role

Will I get PF and statutory benefits?

Most registered schools enrol staff in EPF from day one and pay statutory gratuity. ESI cover applies if your gross is within the eligibility limit at joining.

Is the salary CTC or in-hand?

Schools quote CTC by default. In-hand depends on PF (12% employee share), professional tax, and your tax slab — ask HR for a sample salary structure before accepting.

Is accommodation provided?

Accommodation is not standard for day-school roles — confirm details with the Principal's office during the interview.

Which curriculum does the school follow?

DAV Public School, Kumarsain & Kumarsain follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.

Can I negotiate the salary at DAV Public School, Kumarsain & Kumarsain?

Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities.

What is the average HOD Humanities salary in Shimla?

Check the "Salary snapshot" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to HOD Humanities roles in Shimla. As a rough anchor, city tier and board affiliation move the number by 20-40% — IB and Cambridge schools sit at the top, state-board privates at the base.

What non-teaching duties are expected?

Beyond teaching periods you'll typically own a homeroom, run one club/activity, support exam logistics, and contribute to one school-wide initiative each term.

Is this a remote / work-from-home opportunity?

School roles are on-site by default — classroom teaching and student supervision require physical presence. Online tutoring openings are tagged separately on School Jobs India.

Do I have to work weekends?

Most day schools follow a 6-day or 5.5-day week with Sundays off. Occasional Saturdays may go to events, parent meetings, or PD sessions.
