Job description

Sol’s ARC is an NGO working to create inclusive opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) in education and livelihoods.

This role is part of our Vocational Training Programme , which prepares PwDs for work through structured batches (June–December and January–April) and supports them into internships, on-the-job training and jobs.

About the Role

This is a teaching-plus-placement role that covers the full journey of a student. The person will be responsible for mobilising students, planning and delivering classes, mapping each student to a suitable job, and supporting them after placement so that they stay and grow in their work .

The role requires someone who enjoys teaching, understands the learning and support needs of PwDs, and can balance classroom management, community outreach and employer coordination .

The person will divide their time between the classroom and the field — visiting communities for outreach, workplaces for job analysis and sensitisation, and placed students for follow-up.

What Will You Typically Do?

You will run two batches a year (June–December and January–April), working across the classroom, the community and partner workplaces.

1. Outreach and Admissions

• Build partnerships with NGOs, schools and community organisations — at least 2 per batch cycle — to generate student referrals.
• Conduct at least 5 outreach activities (calls, visits, sessions) per batch cycle to mobilise prospective students.
• Enrol at least 10 students in each batch.
• Conduct baseline assessments for all candidates before the batch begins.
• Collect, verify and upload all candidate documents and assessment records to the designated drive on time.

2. Plan the Curriculum and Schedules

• Develop curriculum and session plans, with objectives and teaching resources, before each batch starts.
• Prepare monthly and weekly schedules for teachers and trainers, balancing academic and skill-building sessions.
• Conduct endline assessments for all students within one week of training ending.

3. Manage the Classroom

• Run sessions smoothly by maintaining discipline, following lesson plans and keeping students engaged.
• Complete attendance for all ongoing batches by end of day.
• Complete 100% of lesson plans as per the monthly teaching schedule.
• Maintain each student’s performance record — attendance, work pace, communication, behaviour, task completion and level of independence.

4. Map Students to Suitable Jobs

• Profile each student’s skills, interests, abilities and support needs before placement.
• Conduct workplace and task analysis with partner employers, covering physical, communication and behavioural requirements.
• Match students to suitable job roles and confirm requirements with candidates and parents.
• Maintain complete job mapping sheets and supporting documents.

5. Placement and Post-Placement Support

• Facilitate internships, on-the-job training and placements, and visit workplaces to guide students.
• Conduct sensitisation sessions at the workplace within 3 days of each student’s joining and prepare a sensitisation report.
• Follow up monthly with placed students and employers; provide counselling and resolve challenges as per the post-placement SOP.
• Maintain post-placement tracking sheets and counselling records for all placed students.
