Navi Mumbai Maharashtra, India iTeach Schools Full time

**Why do we exist? What do we do?**

The quality of school education available to students from low-income communities across India is abysmal.Their chances of attending college, or building a career are significantly lower than their high-income peers, condemning them to a life without voice or choice. iTeach was born in 2015 to challenge this status quo and create a level playing field for ALL children.

**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**:

- 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**
