About Brio
Brio is a global nonprofit that trains government primary-school teachers in Rajasthan in skills that support their own mental health and the wellbeing of their students. We work with district education offices, government training institutes, and school resource groups across rural Rajasthan. To know whether our training is working— and to keep improving it— we run a careful, multi-year measurement and evaluation program. This role is central to that work.
Role Summary
MERL Field Officers are Brio's eyes, ears, and hands in the field. They visit government primary schools across their assigned zone to observe classrooms, run student and teacher surveys, and follow up on how things are going months after a training. They coordinate closely with Brio's operations team to keep schedules and school visits running smoothly. The role suits someone who enjoys being out in schools, is comfortable working with teachers and head teachers, and takes pride in producing clean, complete, trustworthy data.
Reporting Line
Reports to the Senior MERL Officer as well as to Brio’s Head of Training and Research. Works day-to-day with the Operations team and with the three other MERL Field Officers covering Brio's other zones.
Location & Travel
- Zone-based: Candidate is expected to live in a district within their assigned zone (one of four zones, each covering 8–9 districts in Rajasthan).
- Travel: regular travel within the zone and to bordering districts to reach assigned schools— by bus, train, or hired auto. All travel costs reimbursed at standard Brio rates. This role requires significant travel time across rural Rajasthan.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct classroom observations. Visit primary-school classrooms across your zone and score what you see using structured observation tools that Brio will fully train you on. When paired with a second observer, work to keep scoring consistent.
- Run student survey rounds. At scheduled points in the school year, carry paper-based student surveys to assigned schools, support teachers in administering them well, and bring completed materials back for processing.
- Support teachers through periodic digital surveys. Help assigned teachers complete short digital surveys at key points in the program; follow up with those who haven't, and sit with teachers who need help.
- Check in monthly with teachers. Hold short monthly conversations — by phone, message, or in person — with assigned teachers about how their training is being put into practice. Notice patterns and share them with the head office.
- Follow up on teachers and students after training. Several months after a training cycle, return to assigned schools to confirm where each teacher and student is now — still in the same classroom, transferred, or no longer in the system.
- Coordinate with operations and build school relationships. Work closely with Brio's central operations team on training schedules and visit planning. Build and maintain trusting relationships with head teachers, school officials, and local training institute staff in your zone.
- Keep careful, accurate records. Record everything you observe and collect in Brio's central data system (full training provided). When something unusual happens in the field, document it clearly so the head office can act on it.
Required Qualifications
We seek diverse candidates committed to high-quality programs that benefit children. The ideal candidate has the following qualifications.
- Bachelor's degree (completed) in psychology, education, social work, public health, statistics, economics, or a related field.
- 2-3 years of work experience minimum, fellowships not included. Plus at least one of the following: an internship in research, a stint with an NGO doing data collection, classroom or school-based program work, or engagement with government schools.
- Hindi: fluent speaking and reading. You should be comfortable holding a long conversation with a head teacher in Hindi and reading Hindi text on forms and notes.
- English: professional working level. You should be comfortable reading written procedures and instructions in English and writing clear updates and notes in English. Training and supervision from Brio Head of Training and Research will be provided in English.
- Willingness to travel regularly across rural Rajasthan, including overnight stays when needed.
- Working comfort with Excel or Google Sheets (sorting, filtering, simple formulas).
- Openness to working with government stakeholders and teachers
- Adaptibility and flexibility towards change in schedules or plans as per government norms, being aware of onground operations
