Job description
Overview
Nalanda Academy in Kota, Rajasthan is on the lookout for a HOD Humanities. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery. Nalanda Academy, established 1982, is a senior secondary campus in Kota, Rajasthan — a CBSE-affiliated school. Day-to-day work is anchored in curriculum maps, defined assessment cycles, and faculty review built into the calendar. Position: as HOD Humanities, you are part of the school's leadership group. The role demands strong judgement, calm execution, and a clear point of view on what good schooling looks like. 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. Compensation and environment:
- Salary structured fairly across roles (₹9.1 LPA – ₹22.5 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. Send your CV through this listing — no separate email is required for Nalanda Academy. The hiring lead reaches out personally to take qualifying candidates forward.
