Job description

Overview

Immediate opening: Principal at Maharishi Vidya Mandir Public School in Jammu, Jammu & Kashmir. Open to both seasoned practitioners and early-career candidates with strong potential. Maharishi Vidya Mandir Public School in Jammu, Jammu & Kashmir operates as a senior secondary school, established 1991, — a CBSE-affiliated school. A settled, professional environment with clear academic systems, structured staff meetings, and steady infrastructure investment. Context: the Principal reports into the Principal and works alongside other senior leaders. 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. 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. What we offer:
  • Competitive, on-time salary (₹9.9 LPA – ₹16.6 LPA).
  • Defined working hours aligned with the school timetable.
  • Investment in your growth — training, mentorship, peer learning.
  • A respectful work environment focused on outcomes.
  • Access to school resources, libraries, labs, and digital tools. Submit your application on this page and Maharishi Vidya Mandir Public School will weigh your candidacy for the opening. Next steps usually include a short demo class and a panel discussion.
