HR Executive

Full-time · On-site, Kamareddy · Reports to the Chairman

Little Scholars High School is looking for an HR Generalist to become the single point of ownership for how we hire, pay, and support our staff. With about 1,590 students and 116 staff across teaching, administrative, and support roles, the school has outgrown ad-hoc HR handling — this role exists to bring structure, accuracy, and a genuine point of contact to the people side of running the school.

About

Little Scholars High School

Little Scholars High School (LSHS) is a K-10 school in Kamareddy, Telangana, serving both ALP and Non-ALP student segments. The school runs a full academic operation — admissions, three fee terms a year, transport, and a dedicated book distribution program — supported by a staff of roughly 116 across teachers, administrators, and support functions.

About

the Role

Twelve months in, this role will have brought order and reliability to HR at LSHS: staff records that are accurate and easy to pull up, a recruitment process that fills open roles without scrambling, payroll inputs that go out on time every month, and a staff base that knows who to go to with an HR question and trusts they'll get a straight answer. You'll work closely with the Principal and the Chairman, and be the school's main point of contact for anything related to hiring, pay, records, and staff welfare.

•     Process monthly payroll inputs and coordinate with accounts to ensure salaries go out accurately and on time

•     Serve as the first point of contact for staff on policy questions, grievances, and day-to-day HR concerns

•     Support performance reviews, staff development planning, and exit processes

•     Build and maintain clean HR documentation and record-keeping systems that hold up under audit

What

We're Looking For

•     2-5 years of experience in an HR generalist, HR executive, or HR coordinator role

•     Hands-on experience with payroll processing and maintaining staff records

•     Strong Excel/spreadsheet skills and comfort working with data day-to-day

•     Fluent in Telugu and English; comfortable communicating with staff across all levels of the school
