Zahra Public School in Kannur, Kerala is on the lookout for a HOD Science. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery.

Known locally for steady academic delivery, a stable faculty base, and a balanced mix of academics, sports, and the arts.

- Coach teachers, especially those in their first few years.
- Drive disciplined execution of the academic and assessment calendar.
- Represent the school in academic forums and audits.
- Work with the Principal on medium-term plans. Ideal candidate — you have:

- Direct experience running a section, department, or full school.
- A point of view on good teaching, good assessments, and good schools.
- Patience to coach and firmness to enforce standards.
- Strong personal organisation across multiple workstreams. Compensation and environment:
- Salary structured fairly across roles (₹12.8 LPA – ₹17.0 LPA).
- A calendar that respects academic delivery and personal time.
- Internal training, peer observation, and external workshops.
- A calm, professional, student-centred campus culture.
