HITARTH Sahayak
VOSAP (Voice of Specially Abled People)
About VOSAP
VOSAP (Voice of Specially Abled People) is a California-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit with UN ECOSOC Special Consultative Status, dedicated to empowering persons with disabilities (PwDs) across India through advocacy, assistive technology, and community-driven welfare programs.
About the Role
As a Sahayak, you’ll be VOSAP’s last-mile community facilitator under Project HITARTH, helping persons with disabilities in your area enroll in and renew the NIRAMAYA Health Insurance Scheme. This is a flexible, community-based role — you work from your own location, engaging with PwDs and families nearby, while coordinating remotely with the VOSAP team.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify and reach out to eligible persons with disabilities in your assigned area/district
- Guide beneficiaries and caregivers through NIRAMAYA enrollment and annual renewal
- Collect and verify required documents (disability certificate, Aadhaar, bank details, etc.)
- Submit accurate enrollment/renewal applications on time through VOSAP’s tracking system
- Maintain genuine, verifiable beneficiary records — all claims are subject to audit
- Offer basic guidance on disability welfare schemes and refer beneficiaries to VOSAP’s broader support services
- Share weekly progress updates with your regional coordinator
- Build lasting trust with local PwD communities, Anganwadi workers, and disability organizations (DPOs)
Who Should Apply
- Based anywhere in India, willing to work within your own community/district
- Experience in social work, community outreach, healthcare, insurance, or the disability sector preferred (not mandatory)
- Persons with disabilities and caregivers strongly encouraged to apply
- Comfortable with a smartphone and basic data entry via mobile app
- Fluent in the local language; working knowledge of Hindi/English helpful
- Empathetic, patient, honest, and self-driven
- Minimum age 18, with valid government ID proof
Compensation
Performance-linked incentive structure — a base honorarium per successfully verified enrollment/renewal, with additional bonuses for sustained renewal performance. This is a field associate role rather than a fixed monthly salary.
What VOSAP Offers
- Full training and onboarding on the NIRAMAYA scheme
- The chance to work with a UN-recognized global disability nonprofit
- Flexible, self-managed working hours
- A growth path within VOSAP’s national field network
