Bedford School Mohali vacancies: open roles, requirements and how to apply

At the time of writing (October 2026), the school lists 3 full-time roles in Mohali: English Teacher, Lady Warden and Admissions Coordinator. Experience asked for runs from 3 to 7 years. Applications go by email to the school’s HR team or through an online form that also lists 11 other job profiles.

Chandigarh’s tricolony area has a new name in school hiring. Bedford School Mohali, an all-girls British international day and boarding school, welcomed its first pupils in April 2026. It’s building its team now, and every listing says so.

If you teach, run a boarding house or work in school admissions, this guide covers what’s open, what each job involves and what the school asks of candidates. Everything below comes from the school’s published pages, and I’ve said where I’m reading between the lines.

What is Bedford School Mohali?

The school sits in Sector 84, Mohali, on a 14-acre campus next to Chandigarh. It teaches girls aged 4 to 18, from Nursery through Sixth Form.

It describes itself as India’s first British international girls’ school and the first British-branded school in North India. The academic programmes are Cambridge IGCSE, ISC and IAL.

The school was set up through a partnership between Bedford School UK and the Doon International Educational Society. Bedford School UK has a history of more than 470 years, and the Mohali school draws on that legacy.

Who leads it

The founding Principal is Ms. Naomi Atkins, whom the school introduces as an educator with extensive international experience. The Mohali website also carries a welcome note from the Head Master of Bedford School UK.

Recognition cited by the school

The school’s site lists awards won by Bedford School UK, the parent school:

1. Shortlisted for the 2025 Independent Schools of the Year Awards
2. Named in School Sport Magazine’s Top 200 Sports Schools 2024
3. Named among Fortune’s “World’s Leading Boarding Schools” for 2023
4. Shortlisted for Boarding School of the Year at the 2022 TES Schools Awards

Those belong to the UK school, so treat them as background on the brand and not as results from Mohali.

What’s happening right now

The school marks its first 100 days on 17 October 2026. Admissions for 2027-28 are open, and the site mentions scholarships of up to 50% for pupils with strong academics and a commitment to school life.

Boarding and pastoral care

Boarding matters for this article because one of the open roles is a warden post.

The school runs 3 boarding models: full boarding, day boarding and flexi boarding. It describes its boarding houses as premium accommodation meant to keep girls comfortable and cared for.

On the pastoral side, the site says a medical professional is on campus at every hour for emergencies, and CCTV covers the whole campus. It also lists 5 values that shape daily school life: kindness, endeavour, integrity, curiosity and responsibility.

Pupils can play 12 sports on campus, including squash, swimming, shooting, gymnastics, pickleball, cricket and hockey.

What it’s like to work there

The school’s Work With Us page makes a few promises to staff. It says teachers get regular training and leadership opportunities, and that classrooms are technology-enabled, with labs and art spaces to match.

It also says teachers deliver the IGCSE curriculum while keeping Indian values in the picture. The page calls teaching there “more than a job,” and asks for adaptable, curious and driven professionals.

I can’t verify any of that from outside. But the listings do point to a founding-team culture, which usually means more ownership and fewer ready-made systems. Some people love that. Others find it tiring.

English Teacher

This post teaches English language and literature to the Cambridge curriculum. The school wants someone who builds analytical and communication skills while keeping a love of reading alive in teenagers.

What the job involves

The listing groups the work into 5 areas.

Curriculum and teaching. Planning and delivering lessons to Cambridge standards and the department’s schemes of work. The teacher builds reading, comprehension, analytical writing and speaking skills, using methods like inquiry-based learning, debate, drama, creative writing and digital tools. Lessons should be differentiated so every learner is served.

Leadership and faculty development. Contributing to department planning, curriculum review and resources. The teacher shares good practice, joins peer observation and mentors junior teachers or teaching assistants when needed.

Assessment and performance. Designing formative and summative assessments to Cambridge requirements, giving timely feedback, keeping accurate pupil records and spotting underperformance early.

Co-curricular activities. Running English enrichment such as debating societies, theatre productions, poetry readings, essay competitions, journalism and creative writing workshops. The teacher also supports entries to national and international competitions and arranges author visits and literary festivals.

Community and parents. Reporting to parents, running literacy workshops and exhibitions, representing the English department at open days and working with local cultural and literary groups.

Who the school wants

1. A bachelor’s degree in English, English Literature or Education. A Master’s is preferred.
2. A recognised teaching qualification: B.Ed., PGCE, QTS or equivalent.
3. Training in Cambridge IGCSE/A Level teaching or inquiry-based learning is desirable.
4. 4 to 7 years teaching English at secondary or senior secondary level.
5. Cambridge IGCSE and/or A Level English experience is strongly preferred.
6. Evidence of good student results in external exams.
7. A record of leading or contributing to literary and co-curricular activities.
8. Independent or international school experience is an advantage.

On soft skills, the listing asks for strong command of both language and literature, good classroom management and comfort with digital tools. It also wants a reflective, collaborative teacher who keeps learning.

Lady Warden

The Lady Warden is the residential role. Wardens look after the girls who live in the boarding houses, and the listing describes them as guardians, role models and mentors.

The post reports to the Principal or Head of Boarding. It covers pupils across Pre-Prep, Prep and Senior School.

What the job involves

Student care and welfare. Round-the-clock care and supervision. The warden looks after emotional, social and physical wellbeing, acts as a mentor and counsellor, and tracks academic progress with teachers and parents when needed.

Boarding house management. Running the daily routine, from wake-up and meals to study hours and lights-out. The warden keeps order and good behaviour, organises recreational and cultural activities, and keeps the facilities clean, safe and secure.

Health, safety and safeguarding. Giving first aid, working with the medical staff in emergencies, upholding child protection standards, and following fire safety, security and emergency procedures.

Communication and collaboration. Building trust with students and parents, keeping records of welfare, attendance and incidents, and working with academic, pastoral and administrative staff.

Who the school wants

1. A bachelor’s degree in any subject. Education, Psychology or Social Work is preferred.
2. First aid and child safeguarding certification is desirable.
3. At least 3 years working with children or teenagers in a boarding school, hostel or similar setting.
4. Experience in pastoral care, student welfare or residential life management.

The qualities listed are warmth, a strong sense of responsibility and discipline, and good communication. The listing also wants someone who handles adolescent issues with empathy and firmness, and who believes in girls’ education.

One oddity: the intro paragraph on this listing talks about leading an HR function and shaping the Prep phase, which reads like text copied from other posts. The Role and Person Specification sections are the better guide to the actual job.

Admissions Coordinator

This person manages a family’s whole journey, from the first enquiry to the day a girl is enrolled. The listing stresses a welcoming, professional experience for parents.

What the job involves

Admissions and enrollment. Handling enquiries by phone, email, website and walk-in. The coordinator explains programmes, curriculum, fees and policies, collects and checks application documents, and schedules tours, interviews and assessments. They also support admission decisions, tell families the outcome and complete enrollment paperwork.

Relationship management. Keeping in touch with prospective and existing families, answering questions well and telling applicants about progress and deadlines.

Admissions administration. Keeping accurate records and databases with confidentiality, preparing admissions reports and enrolment statistics for management, and making sure procedures are followed consistently.

Marketing and school promotion. Supporting open days, information sessions, tours and exhibitions. The coordinator works with the marketing team on lead generation and helps maintain admissions content online and in print.

Collaboration and operations. Working with the academic, finance, boarding and administrative teams to onboard new pupils, coordinating with school leadership on enrolment targets, and helping forecast admissions trends.

Who the school wants

1. A bachelor’s degree in business administration, education, marketing, communications or a related field.
2. Professional certificates in admissions or administration are desirable.
3. 3 to 5 years in admissions, student recruitment, customer relationship management or administration.
4. School experience is highly desirable, and so is experience with admissions databases or CRM systems.
5. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and CRM software.
6. Flexibility for school events and occasional weekend programmes.

The listing wants excellent communication, strong organisation, attention to detail and a high level of confidentiality.

Other profiles in the application form

The online application form has a dropdown of 13 job profiles. Beyond English Teacher and Lady Warden, these 11 have no description on the vacancies page:

It’s unclear whether these are open or are collected for future hiring. A new school filling out its staff would plausibly need most of them, so applying and asking the HR team seems reasonable.

Safeguarding checks

All 3 listings carry the same commitment. The school says it’s committed to protecting children’s welfare and expects all staff to share that. Successful candidates go through background checks, including enhanced criminal record clearance.

Expect to provide paperwork, and get references and certificates in order before you apply.

How to apply

1. Choose the role that matches your experience.
2. Email your application to hr@bedfordschoolmohali.com, or use the form on the school’s vacancies page. The form asks you to pick a job profile and upload a CV, and it includes a captcha.
3. Use the careers line, +91 70874 21350, for questions.

A few tips, based on what the listings stress:

1. Teachers: Put Cambridge IGCSE or A Level experience and exam results near the top. Mention clubs you’ve led, like debating, theatre or journalism.
2. Wardens: Be specific about boarding or hostel years, the number of children you looked after and any first aid or safeguarding training.
3. Admissions candidates: Name the CRM tools you’ve used and any enrolment numbers you handled.
