Job description
Overview
Durga Public School invites applications for a HOD Commerce in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. The role is integral to our academic calendar, with reasonable workload and clear deliverables. Durga Public School, established 1982, runs as a secondary campus in Guntur, Andhra 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 Commerce is a senior position blending academic leadership with operational ownership — running reviews, mentoring teachers, handling escalations, and representing the school externally. 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. Ideal candidate — you have:
- 8+ years in school education with leadership exposure.
- Direct experience running a section, department, or full school.
- A point of view on good teaching, good assessments, and good schools.
- Patience to coach and firmness to enforce standards.
- Strong personal organisation across multiple workstreams. Why join us:
- Predictable, on-time monthly compensation (₹11.7 LPA – ₹22.2 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. Submit your application on this page and Durga Public School will weigh your candidacy for the opening. Next steps usually include a short demo class and a panel discussion.
Common questions about this role
Is background verification done before joining?
Yes — most schools run document and reference verification, and many use third-party background checks. Keep your last 2–3 employer references and original certificates ready.
Which curriculum does the school follow?
Durga Public School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.
How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?
Typically 3–7 working days after the final interview, once reference checks and internal approvals are done. Verbal confirmations sometimes come sooner — always wait for the written offer before resigning your current role.
Does Durga Public School help with relocation from another city?
Many CBSE, ICSE and IB schools in Guntur offer on-campus or subsidised accommodation, one-time relocation reimbursement, or help finding rentals nearby. Ask about "relocation assistance" and "staff quarters" in the interview — it's a common ask.
What's the interview process like for this teaching role?
Most schools have 2–3 rounds: an HR call, a demo lesson, then a leadership interview. Be ready to walk through one of your lesson plans and how you handle classroom management.
Do I have to work weekends?
Standard week is Monday to Saturday (often half-day Saturday). Occasional event Sundays exist (Annual Day, Sports Day, admissions test days) and are usually compensated with a comp-off.
Is school transport available for staff?
Staff transport varies. Larger schools with their own fleet usually allow staff onboarding on existing routes; smaller schools may not run dedicated routes.
I'm serving notice — should I still apply?
Yes. Most schools accept candidates with up to 60 days of notice. Mention your last working day clearly in your application so the school can plan the joining accordingly.
How do I write an application email for this HOD Commerce role?
Use a clear subject line with role and your name, open with which vacancy you're applying to, then a 4-5 line summary of qualifications, teaching experience and notice period. Close with availability for a demo lesson and interview. Attach a one-page PDF resume — long text bodies get skimmed.
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.
