What the role is :

The Health Promotion Board's vision is to make Singapore a nation of healthier people. Come and be part of this journey if you are passionate about creating innovative work that drives behavioural change. You will join HPB's Cluster Management and Partnerships (East) Department to advance initiatives that improve the health of Singaporeans.

What you will be working on :

Scope

This role supports the Deputy Director in the engagement, coordination and management of the Regional Healthcare System (RHS) Cluster within their region to ensure clarity and optimisation of HPB's role as the National Health Promotion manager vis-à-vis the RHS Cluster's role as the Regional Health Manager.

You will have opportunities to lead work streams and projects or business cases emerging from collaborations with the RHS Cluster. This will require critical thinking, stakeholder management, strong communication, coordination and project management skills.

Public and Private Partnerships

You will also support the Deputy Director in identifying, managing and deepening relationships with key national-level partners such as People's Association (PA), Agency for Integrated Care (AIC), Workplace Safety and Health Council, and National Trade Union Co-operative (NTUC), amongst others. You will be expected to lead and drive discussions and work streams emerging from initial higher-level engagements.

You will need to coordinate and align with the Integrated Outreach department within the Regional Division to ensure that follow-up ground activations and programmes are within HPB's operational parameters and considerations.

You will be expected to lead and drive specific operational activities under the Healthy Living Environment (HLE) strategic thrust as part of HPB's five-year strategic plan.

Mature Workers' Outreach

You will oversee and drive the strategy for a portion of workplace outreach, specifically for mature workers under selected Priority Industries. You will need to devise an overarching roadmap that aligns with HPB's five-year plan and the Outreach Group's mandate, whilst being mindful of national objectives for the ageing population (e.g. Age Well neighbourhoods, Ageing Workforce initiatives, etc.).

You will ensure that the team carries out initiatives based on the framework and evaluate efforts at reasonable intervals. Finally, you will be expected to oversee functional activities of the department, including HR, budget management and risk management activities, with staff reporting to you.
