Job description
Overview
Kendriya Vidyalaya in Sahebganj, Jharkhand is seeking a Accountant who brings both subject depth and a student-first approach. The school invests heavily in teacher development. Kendriya Vidyalaya, established 2010, is a secondary campus in Sahebganj, Jharkhand — a CBSE-affiliated school. Day-to-day work is anchored in curriculum maps, defined assessment cycles, and faculty review built into the calendar. Role: the Accountant keeps the school's day-to-day operations running.

- Provide leadership with accurate, timely operational information.
- Work with external vendors to ensure quality service delivery.
- Support the operations team during exam cycles and large events. Requirements:
- Graduate degree with prior administrative/operations experience.
- Strong attention to detail and good follow-through.
- Comfort with MS Office, Google Workspace, and ERP applications.
- Professional written and spoken English (and Hindi where applicable).
- A service mindset with parents, students, and faculty. Compensation and environment:
- Salary structured fairly across roles (₹2.2 LPA – ₹5.4 LPA).
- A calendar that respects academic delivery and personal time.
- Internal training, peer observation, and external workshops.
- A calm, professional, student-centred campus culture.
- Real backing from the leadership team when it matters. Submit your application on this page and Kendriya Vidyalaya will weigh your candidacy for the opening. Next steps usually include a short demo class and a panel discussion.
