Overview
Immediate opening: HOD Humanities at Guru Vashisth Vidya Niketan Alhapur in Palwal, Haryana. Open to both seasoned practitioners and early-career candidates with strong potential. Guru Vashisth Vidya Niketan Alhapur in Palwal, Haryana operates as a senior secondary school — a CBSE-affiliated school. A settled, professional environment with clear academic systems, structured staff meetings, and steady infrastructure investment. What the role looks like: the HOD Humanities owns outcomes for the assigned section/portfolio — academic quality, faculty development, parent engagement, and student wellbeing — and contributes to the school's strategic plans. 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. 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 (₹10.5 LPA – ₹24.7 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 here so Guru Vashisth Vidya Niketan Alhapur can shortlist you alongside the active pool. Strong profiles move to a brief teaching demo and a discussion with the academic head.
