Role Type: Full-time, Single Point of Contact
(SPOC) — Human Resources Experience ~3–4 years, generalist HR
Stipend: 6 LPA or more depending on cultural fit and experience
ABOUT THE ROLE:
Sri Krishna Education Trust (Shishya Schools & Minerva Colleges) is looking for a hands-on HR professional to be the single owner of the Trust's people function — recruitment, onboarding, training & development, and day-to-day HR processes across all schools and colleges. This is an individual-contributor, generalist HR role reporting to the Chief of Staff, working closely with
school leadership, principals, academic heads, and administration to build a strong, well-trained, and well-governed workforce across the Trust's institutions.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
● Recruitment: Own end-to-end recruitment for teaching and non-teaching staff across the Trust — manpower planning, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer rollout, and closure within agreed timelines.
● Build and maintain a talent pipeline for recurring/seasonal hiring needs (new academic year, admissions season) in coordination with principals and department heads.
● Design and run a structured onboarding and induction programme for new joiners, ensuring smooth integration into the Trust's culture and processes.
● Training & Development: Plan, coordinate, and track the annual training & development calendar for teaching and non-teaching staff, including pedagogy, compliance, safety, and soft-skills programmes.
● Identify training needs in consultation with academic leadership and external experts/agencies, and manage the training budget.
● Maintain training records, feedback, and effectiveness tracking for all programmes conducted across schools and colleges.
● HR Processes & Compliance: Own core HR processes end-to-end — attendance, leave management, payroll inputs, performance appraisals, HRMS/employee records, and statutory compliance (PF, ESI, gratuity, etc.).
● Draft and maintain HR policies, employee handbooks, and SOPs; ensure consistent application across all Trust institutions.
● Handle employee relations — grievance redressal, disciplinary processes, exit interviews, and full-and-final settlements.
● Reporting & Governance: Track HR metrics (attrition, time-to-hire, training coverage) and report to leadership on a monthly basis.
● Coordinate with external agencies/consultants (recruitment, payroll, compliance, training) as needed, and manage the HR budget responsibly.
● Act as the first point of contact for any HR query, escalation, or people-related issue across the Trust's institutions.
TECHNICAL SKILLS:
● Hands-on experience across the full recruitment lifecycle — job postings, sourcing (portals, referrals, agencies), screening, and offer management.
● Working knowledge of HRMS/payroll systems and MS Office/Google Workspace for HR reporting and documentation.
● Sound understanding of labour laws and statutory compliance applicable to educational institutions (PF, ESI, POSH, Shops & Establishments, etc.).
● Experience designing and delivering (or coordinating) training programmes, including training needs analysis and feedback measurement.
● Familiarity with performance management systems and appraisal cycles.
● Comfortable maintaining accurate, audit-ready employee records and documentation.
BEHAVIOURAL SKILLS:
● High energy, self-starter who takes ownership of the people agenda without needing constant supervision.
● Strong interpersonal and communication skills — comfortable interacting with teachers, staff, parents, and leadership.
● Empathetic yet firm — able to balance employee welfare with institutional discipline and process rigour.
● Reliable and flexible — willing to travel across campuses and be present during peak hiring/training periods.
● Detail-oriented with good judgement on confidential and sensitive HR matters.
● Collegial team player who can work across departments (academics, admissions, admin, finance) with minimal friction.
● Calm under pressure — able to manage sensitive employee issues or urgent staffing needs quickly and sensibly.
QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE:
● MBA/PG Diploma in HR, or equivalent; certification in Labour Law/Compliance is a plus.
● ~3–4 years of relevant generalist HR experience, ideally spanning recruitment, training, and core HR operations (education sector experience preferred but not mandatory).
● Demonstrated experience managing HR for a multi-location/multi-unit setup is a significant advantage.
WHAT THE TRUST OFFERS:
● A high-ownership, purpose-driven HR charter across the Trust's schools and colleges, with direct visibility to leadership and the opportunity to build people processes from the ground up.
