Rubal Foundation Is Hiring in Pune: Join the Migrant & Workers Facilitation Centre

Rubal Foundation is looking for passionate people to join its team in Pune. Two roles are open at the Migrant & Workers Facilitation Centre: Project (Centre) Coordinator and Field Outreach Coordinator. Both are for people who want to work directly with migrant and informal-sector workers, helping them reach the rights, services and support they are entitled to.

Role 1: Project (Centre) Coordinator

The Project Coordinator leads the Migrant & Workers Facilitation Centre and oversees its daily operations.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead and manage the Centre's day-to-day operations

  • Develop activity plans, set targets and monitor Centre performance

  • Facilitate workers' access to government schemes, entitlements, social protection and public services

  • Manage worker cases, grievances and referrals while maintaining confidentiality

  • Supervise and guide Field Coordinators in community mobilisation and outreach

  • Conduct awareness programmes, meetings and information sessions for workers and their families

  • Build and maintain linkages with government departments, NGOs, service providers and other stakeholders

  • Facilitate referrals on labour rights, legal aid, healthcare, livelihoods, skills and social protection

  • Maintain Centre records, databases, case documentation and periodic reports

  • Represent the organisation in stakeholder meetings and local networks

  • Monitor Centre activities to ensure effective implementation without duplicating existing services

Qualifications, skills and experience

  • Master's degree in Social Work, Labour Studies, Development Studies, Management, Social Sciences or any relevant field

  • 3–5 years of relevant experience in programme coordination, centre management, field-team supervision or community-based work

  • Experience with migrant and/or informal-sector workers, especially in urban communities, is preferred

  • Good documentation, reporting and digital skills

  • Working knowledge of English is desirable

  • Willingness to travel within Pune and surrounding areas and work directly with communities

Role 2: Field Outreach Coordinator

The Field Outreach Coordinator is the Centre's link to the community. They reach workers where they live and work, understand their concerns and connect them to services.

Key responsibilities

  • Conduct regular community outreach and mobilisation among migrant and informal-sector workers

  • Identify workers' needs, concerns and service gaps, and refer them to the Workers Facilitation Centre

  • Inform workers about government schemes, social protection, entitlements and available services

  • Support workers in accessing services and follow up on referrals and cases

  • Conduct community meetings, awareness sessions and information campaigns

  • Build rapport with workers, community leaders and local stakeholders

  • Help the Centre identify and document grievances and cases that need intervention

  • Maintain accurate records of field visits, worker interactions, referrals and follow-up

  • Coordinate regularly with the Centre Coordinator and report field-level developments and emerging issues

Education and experience

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Social Work, Sociology, Development Studies, Labour Studies or a relevant Social Science discipline

  • 1–3 years of experience in community outreach, mobilisation, fieldwork or development programmes

  • Experience with migrant workers, informal-sector workers or vulnerable communities is an advantage

  • Good understanding of government schemes, social protection and public services is desirable

  • Strong communication, interpersonal and community mobilisation skills

  • Good documentation and basic digital skills

  • Fluency in Marathi and Hindi is essential; working knowledge of English is desirable

  • Willingness to undertake extensive field visits within Pune and work directly with communities

Why These Roles Matter

Migrant and informal-sector workers often struggle to access government schemes, legal aid, healthcare and social protection. The Facilitation Centre addresses this through case support, referrals, awareness sessions and partnerships with government departments, NGOs and service providers. Together, the two roles cover both ends of that work: the Coordinator runs the Centre and its partnerships, and the Field Outreach Coordinator brings workers in and follows up on their cases.
