  • Observe classes, give actionable feedback, follow up on teacher development.

  • 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. Benefits and culture:
  • Salary in line with experience and market norms (₹8.0 LPA – ₹17.8 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. Send your CV through this listing — no separate email is required for Shree Niketan Patasala. The hiring lead reaches out personally to take qualifying candidates forward.
