OAV Morada Hostel Staff Recruitment 2026: Overview
Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya, Morada (OAV Morada), a CBSE-affiliated school under Odisha's School and Mass Education Department, is engaging support staff for its boys' hostel in Mayurbhanj. The drive covers residential supervision, campus security and cleaning, and kitchen work under a single advertisement. Local availability is central to this engagement because the school will first consider people from the Morada block and will not recruit outside Mayurbhanj district.
These are practical, campus-based roles that keep the hostel safe, clean and running each day. You should choose the post that matches your education, experience and ability to stay on the premises, because each role has different living and work expectations. The engagement is fixed-term and future engagement depends on satisfactory work rather than automatic continuation.
Posts and Disciplines
- Warden: A male residential supervisor for the boys' hostel, responsible for daily order, student welfare and coordination with the school.
- Chowkidar-cum-Sweeper: A male support role combining watch duty with cleaning of hostel areas and help with routine campus upkeep.
- Head Cook: A male residential kitchen role leading meal preparation, LPG use and hygiene in the hostel kitchen.
- Assistant Cook: A male residential kitchen support role helping prepare meals on time and keeping food, utensils and work areas clean.
Post-wise Duties
Warden
You will oversee the boys' hostel, maintain daily discipline and resident safety, and coordinate hostel needs with the principal. You must be ready to live in the hostel and remain available when students need supervision.
Chowkidar-cum-Sweeper
You will watch the hostel premises, control routine access and keep assigned spaces clean. The job brings together security awareness and regular sanitation work, so you should be comfortable handling both throughout the working day.
Head Cook
You will plan and prepare hostel meals, use LPG equipment safely and guide kitchen work. Food hygiene, timely cooking and consistent taste are important, and formal cookery training will receive preference.
Assistant Cook
You will support meal preparation, handle ingredients and utensils, and help keep the kitchen hygienic. You need to work closely with the head cook so that meals are ready on schedule for hostel residents.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Local preference: The school will first look at candidates from the local area, then the block and nearby blocks. No candidate from outside Mayurbhanj district can be engaged under this notice.
- Gender condition: Every advertised role is for male staff because the positions serve a boys' hostel.
- Residential duty: The Warden, Head Cook and Assistant Cook must be prepared to stay in the hostel around the clock and respond to routine residential needs.
- Tenure: The engagement runs for one year. Any fresh engagement follows a break of at least one working day and depends on satisfactory performance.
- Retired teachers: Physically and mentally fit retired teachers may also be considered for the Warden role under the special upper-age condition stated in the notice.
- Kitchen readiness: Cook applicants should know how to use LPG safely, maintain clean clothing and cooking habits, and prepare varied dishes with care.
- Cancellation power: The school may cancel all or part of the advertisement or reject an application without giving a reason.
