About Insighte
Insighte is a leading neurodiversity-affirming and child-rights driven organization dedicated to fostering inclusion for children with developmental differences. We provide support services such as Shadow Teachers, Special Educators, Homecare therapy, and counselling, ensuring that every child can thrive in their natural environments (school, home, and community) with dignity and support.
Role Summary
We are seeking a Learning Support Assistant to work closely with children with Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and other developmental needs in mainstream school settings. In this role, you will serve as a one-on-one educational facilitator for a child, helping them achieve academic, behavioural, and social goals in an inclusive classroom. After approximately six months of successful school-based support, you will also have the opportunity to take on Homecare therapy assignments, providing individualized support to children at home. Insighte provides comprehensive in-house training (including the TEACCH approach and other neurodiversity-affirming methods) to prepare you for both school and home environments, ensuring you are fully equipped before transitioning into any Homecare role.
We are hiring for Delhi, Bangalore and Kerala.
Key Responsibilities
- In-Class Support: Work as a shadow teacher within a classroom, facilitating the child’s inclusion by adapting lessons and activities to their needs and assisting with attention, communication, and social interaction.
- Home Environment Support: Following the initial period, deliver one-on-one therapeutic or educational sessions in a child’s home environment, reinforcing learning and behavioural strategies in daily routines (with full training provided beforehand).
- Goal Implementation: Collaborate with special educators or Mentors to implement individualized education plans (IEPs) or learning goals for the child, focusing on academic progress, behaviour modification, and social skills development.
- Progress Monitoring: Track the child’s improvements and challenges. Maintain daily notes and prepare monthly progress reports for parents and the Insighte team, highlighting milestones and areas needing adjustment.
- Parent & Teacher Collaboration: Communicate regularly and professionally with parents, teachers, and the Insighte team to ensure consistency in strategies across school and home. Provide guidance to parents on how to support the child’s development at home.
- Inclusive Advocacy: Uphold a child-rights based approach in all interactions, advocating for the child’s needs and inclusion. Help reintegrate the child into mainstream activities by bridging learning or social gaps.
- Professional Development: Attend all required in-house training sessions, workshops, and supervision meetings. Continuously update your skills and apply feedback to improve the child’s support plan.
Qualifications
- Educational Background: Master’s degree in Psychology/ Social work or related field. Additional certification or diploma in Special Education is highly valued.
- Experience: Prior experience or internships working with children (especially those with special needs) is preferred. Understanding of inclusive education practices is a plus.
- Skills: Excellent communication skills (fluency in English is required; proficiency in Hindi/Kannada is a plus). Creativity in approach, patience, and the ability to engage children in learning. Strong observational and reporting skills to document progress.
- Mindset: Passionate about inclusion and child development. A self-starter who is proactive, eager to learn, and adaptable in challenging situations. Empathy, positivity, and professionalism are essential.
- Other Requirements: Ability to commit to at least 1 year in the role to ensure continuity in the child’s progress. Punctuality and reliability in attending sessions (school hours and any scheduled home sessions). Willingness to travel within the city for home assignments if required.
Training & Career Development
At Insighte, you will undergo robust in-house training when you join, equipping you with techniques like the TEACCH method and neurodiversity-affirming practices to confidently support children with special needs. You’ll receive ongoing supervision and mentoring throughout the year to refine your skills. Before taking on any Homecare assignment, you will be provided specialized training and orientation to ensure you can effectively transition to the home environment. This role is designed with growth in mind – as you gain experience, you expand your impact from the school into the home, broadening your expertise in inclusive education and therapy.
Compensation & Benefits
- Remuneration: Starting salary is in the range of ₹20,000 – ₹25,000 per month during the initial school-based assignment. As you take on additional Homecare sessions alongside shadow teaching, your earning potential can increase up to ₹40,000 per month, reflecting the added responsibilities and client engagements.
- Performance-Based Growth: Insighte follows a client-based pay model where exceptional work and additional client sessions can boost your income. There is no fixed cap on growth – your dedication and the number of assignments you handle drive your earnings.
- Work Schedule: This is a full-time role (typically Monday to Friday day shifts, following school timings for shadow support). Homecare sessions, if assigned, are scheduled in alignment with family needs, with consideration for a balanced workload.
- Professional Development: Access to regular training workshops, webinars, and courses conducted by Insighte to enhance your professional knowledge. Year-round supervision ensures you have guidance and support whenever needed.
- Inclusive Culture: Be part of a young and energetic team that values each member’s insights. We pride ourselves on a friendly, inclusive work environment where your ideas and growth are encouraged.
