Job description

Overview

Kendriya Vidyalaya is recruiting a HOD Humanities in Ramanathapuram, Tamilnadu. The academic framework is built around clear learning goals, regular reviews, and a healthy planning rhythm. Kendriya Vidyalaya, established 2003, is a secondary campus in Ramanathapuram, Tamilnadu — a CBSE-affiliated school. Day-to-day work is anchored in curriculum maps, defined assessment cycles, and faculty review built into the calendar.

The role carries academic and operational responsibilities and is central to the school's day-to-day functioning. 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. Requirements:
  • Master's degree with a relevant teaching qualification (B.Ed./M.Ed. preferred).
  • Significant classroom experience plus years in coordination/leadership.
  • Calm, confident judgement with students, parents, and staff.
  • Clear writing for academic plans, reports, and parent communication.
  • A track record of building and retaining strong teaching teams. Benefits and culture:
  • Salary in line with experience and market norms (₹8.9 LPA – ₹23.4 LPA).
  • Structured calendar with reasonable workload expectations.
  • Professional development through workshops and internal training.
  • A collaborative staff culture with clear leadership backing.
  • Stable, full-time employment at a settled school. Send your CV through this listing — no separate email is required for Kendriya Vidyalaya. The hiring lead reaches out personally to take qualifying candidates forward.
