Nirmal Ashram Deepmala Pagarani Public School in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand is on the lookout for a HOD Humanities.

Day-to-day work is anchored in curriculum maps, defined assessment cycles, and faculty review built into the calendar.

- Oversee assessment cycles, result analysis, and improvement plans.
- Handle parent escalations professionally and represent the school externally.
- Drive a culture of academic rigour, discipline, and student wellbeing. 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. Why join us:
- Predictable, on-time monthly compensation (₹9.8 LPA – ₹12.1 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. Send your CV through this listing — no separate email is required for Nirmal Ashram Deepmala Pagarani Public School. The hiring lead reaches out personally to take qualifying candidates forward.
