Overview
Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandir in Giridih, Jharkhand is on the lookout for a HOD Humanities. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery. Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandir in Giridih, Jharkhand is a senior secondary institution — a CBSE-affiliated school, established 1984,. The school pairs a traditional academic core with modern classroom practices and consistent investment in faculty enablement. What the role looks like: the HOD Humanities owns outcomes for the assigned section/portfolio — academic quality, faculty development, parent engagement, and student wellbeing — and contributes to the school's strategic plans. Core responsibilities:
- Lead and inspire a high-performing academic team.
- Maintain standards through reviews, observations, and structured feedback.
- Drive the assessment, reporting, and parent communication cycle.

- Contribute to the school's strategic priorities as part of the leadership group. 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. Why join us:
- Predictable, on-time monthly compensation (₹10.7 LPA – ₹20.8 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. Submit your application on this page and Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandir will weigh your candidacy for the opening. Next steps usually include a short demo class and a panel discussion.

Yes. Most schools accept candidates with up to 60 days of notice. Mention your last working day clearly in your application so the school can plan the joining accordingly.
