Overview

Sunrise Public School in Ambala, Haryana is on the lookout for a HOD English. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery. Sunrise Public School, established 2007, runs as a senior secondary campus in Ambala, Haryana — a CBSE-affiliated school.

  • 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. Qualifications and skills:
  • Master's degree with a recognised teaching/leadership qualification.
  • Track record of leading improvement at section or school level.
  • Hiring, coaching, performance management, and conflict resolution skills.
  • Solid grasp of curriculum, assessment, and parent communication.
  • High professional integrity and a clear communication style. Compensation and environment:
  • Salary structured fairly across roles (₹9.3 LPA – ₹12.5 LPA).

  • Internal training, peer observation, and external workshops.
  • A calm, professional, student-centred campus culture.
  • Real backing from the leadership team when it matters. Click Apply at the top of this page to share your profile with Sunrise Public School. Suitable applicants are contacted directly to schedule the next round of conversations.

Joining dates are usually negotiable around the school calendar. Mid-term joining is common for replacement vacancies; new positions often align to April or the start of the next term.

Is background verification done before joining?
