2. Driving Empowerment: We empower families with the appropriate skills and knowledge to nurture their children so that they’ll gain confidence, independence and better integration into society. Your mission? To increase public awareness and acceptance of their capabilities and their potential. Your influence extends beyond the classroom into the community through outreach programmes and holiday activities.
3. Case management and counselling: Stay connected to the ground. About 20-30% of your role involves direct case management and counselling, ensuring you never lose sight of the students that we serve.
4. Excellence & Ethics: Maintain the quality standards of our programmes, managing stakeholder engagement, and ensuring we hit our targets.
5. Strategic Growth Partner with our Assistant Director on budgets, data-driven proposals, and reporting that helps us scale our impact.
