Job description

Overview

We are looking for a Personal Assistant to Principal to join Sunshine Sri Sarada Secondary School in Chennai, Tamilnadu. You will work alongside an experienced team that takes student outcomes seriously. Sunshine Sri Sarada Secondary School, established 1976, runs as a secondary campus in Chennai, Tamilnadu — 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. Role: as Personal Assistant to Principal, you work closely with the Principal on academic and operational decisions — leading a section/team, driving teacher development, overseeing assessments, and holding the line on standards. 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. Compensation and environment:
  • Salary structured fairly across roles (₹12.0 LPA – ₹27.9 LPA).
  • A calendar that respects academic delivery and personal time.
  • Internal training, peer observation, and external workshops.
  • A calm, professional, student-centred campus culture.
  • Real backing from the leadership team when it matters. Apply now using this listing, and your CV reaches the Sunshine Sri Sarada Secondary School hiring team within minutes. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis; expect a response inside one working week.
