Job description
Overview
Prashanti Vidya Kendra in Kasaragod, Kerala is on the lookout for a Chess Coach. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery. Prashanti Vidya Kendra, established 2000, runs as a secondary campus in Kasaragod, Kerala — a CBSE-affiliated school. The school believes a strong campus is built on its teachers and works to be a place where faculty want to stay.

- Track player progress and share updates with parents.
- Coordinate with the Sports Incharge on travel, kit, and event logistics.
- Maintain a safe, disciplined practice environment. Candidate requirements:
- Trained coach with a structured approach to skill and fitness.
- Experience taking teams to inter-school, district, or state events.
- Comfortable with mixed age groups and varying skill levels.
- Calm, firm, and approachable with students and parents.
- Willing to commit to morning/evening schedules through the season. Benefits and culture:
- Salary in line with experience and market norms (₹3.4 LPA – ₹5.7 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. Submit your application on this page and Prashanti Vidya Kendra will weigh your candidacy for the opening. Next steps usually include a short demo class and a panel discussion.
