Position: Sr. Associate, Training

Organization: Aangan

Location: Jaipur/Delhi

What does a Trainer’s role include?

At Aangan, our Trainers enable the most marginalised groups to participate in decisions that affect them directly. They help build trust as well as create strong communication channels between the community (specifically women and girls) and the Police. 

To keep this ecosystem humming, our Trainers get to the root – a. they engage meaningfully with women and girls in the community b. identify gaps and create platforms for women and girls to access their rights to safety, education and participation c. they coach women and girls until they are able to take concrete steps to ensure safety from various harm and risks.

As a Sr. Trainer, a typical day might include the following:

• Inspire and motivate women to become the bridge between communities and police 

• Lead training sessions with women and girls from bastis across 5 districts to:

1. Articulate clearly the causes and consequences of issues faced by them w.r.t safety

2. Leverage the knowledge of laws to benefit women and girls

3. Use tools/mediums to present women’s/girls’ issues to relevant authorities 

4. Negotiate and influence local stakeholders ranging from GP, Police and others 

5. Educate and mobilise other women and girls to participate in raising issues of safety

• Contribute to the design of training sessions to be used across Aangan’s intervention in the State

• Be a part of a pool of trainers at Aangan who contribute to building internal capacity for training and facilitation

• Document learnings and insights to be able to feed into the district’s strategy to achieve desired outcomes 

• Document learnings from trainings to be able to feed into the organisation’s training plans and build internal capacity  

The job might be for you if:

• You are an engaging facilitator who has led many a successful large group conversation

• You are able to skilfully traverse the line between facilitating and coaching/mentoring

• You believe that listening directly from women and girls is essential to creating solutions that impact them 

• You think on your feet, and when things change you know how to roll with the punches. 

• You are a clear communicator and you speak eloquently
