Hadapsar Pune Maharashtra, India iTeach Schools Full time

**Overview**

The quality of school education available to students from low-income communities across India is abysmal. Their chances of getting admitted to a college or building a career are much lower than their high-income peers, condemning them to a life without voice or choice. iTeach was born to declare war on this status quo and create a level playing field for ALL children. **We do this in Pune and Navi Mumbai by co-creating contextual school models with Municipal Corporations.**

We run 12 free and high-impact secondary schools and a college-to-career program for the most disadvantaged students. In 2024, with a staff of 300 members across 12 schools, we will serve 4500 students and 3000 alumni - giving students a fighting chance at college, career, and citizenship. We aim to grow to 30 schools and 10,000 students over the next five years.

**Responsibilities**

All our students come from difficult backgrounds - economically and socially. The Social Worker will be responsible for ensuring that our students get the maximum support possible from all stakeholders outside of the school, to enable them to succeed in school and their career. These stakeholders could be parents, community members, medical professionals, government officials, and so on. The Social Worker will be especially responsible for the most struggling students - who will not succeed in school without full involvement of the stakeholders mentioned earlier.

The three different parts of the role are as follows:
**l - Student Welfare**:

- Understand community profile and orient teachers about community and parents
- Collating complete student and parent information at the time of admission
- Identifying, monitoring, tracking and solving issues linked to student attendance, punctuality and retention through regular home visits
- Providing intensive support to “difficult” students - via investment of stakeholders
- Ensuring our students avail of all required services outside school - such as medical check ups, documentation (caste certificates, income certificates, etc), scholarships, LD testing, etc
- Conducting Socio-Emotional Learning classes in school

**ll
- Parent Engagement**:

- Plan the parent engagement strategy with the School Leader
- Effectively implement the strategy decided (through meetings, workshops, etc)
- Use the Parent Meetings as the forum to build ties with parents, and find solutions for challenges in the community and their lives
- Form School Management Committee and facilitate their regular meetings and projects
- Ensure a section of parents are volunteering to help with school operations

**lll - Community Development**:

- Identify and procure resources from the community which will enhance the education experience for our students (eg: after-school study space, ground, library, etc)
- Be the bridge between the community and the school
- Establish and enhance school relations with the corporators and local influencers

**Prerequisites**
- Required: MSW with specialization in MPSW or FCW, with strong grades.
- Required: Very strong on-the-ground projects during MSW.
- Required: Experience of a minimum of 2 years working with underprivileged populations.
- Preferred: Experience working directly with youth of the age group 14-18.
