  • Competitive, on-time salary (₹10.1 LPA – ₹19.3 LPA).
  • Defined working hours aligned with the school timetable.
  • Investment in your growth — training, mentorship, peer learning.
  • A respectful work environment focused on outcomes.
  • Access to school resources, libraries, labs, and digital tools. Send your CV through this listing — no separate email is required for The Fathima Matriculation Hr. Sec. School. The hiring lead reaches out personally to take qualifying candidates forward.
