Job description

Overview

Scholars Home in Dehradun, Uttarakhand is on the lookout for a HOD Science. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery. About the institution: Scholars Home in Dehradun, Uttarakhand — a senior secondary setup, established 1949, — a CBSE-affiliated school. The school invests consistently in academic resources, classroom technology, and a culture of professional respect. Context: the HOD Science 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. Why join us:
  • Predictable, on-time monthly compensation (₹7.3 LPA – ₹12.8 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 here so Scholars Home can shortlist you alongside the active pool. Strong profiles move to a brief teaching demo and a discussion with the academic head.
