Roles & Responsibilities

Head of Psychosocial Department

What if dementia care could be more than managing decline — what if it could be about creating joy, connection, and purpose every single day?

At Apex Harmony Lodge, Singapore’s only dedicated dementia-care nursing home, we’re looking for a Head of Psychosocial Department (HOP) who believes the answer is yes!

The Lodge is a 210-bed healthcare facility which provides a safe, nurturing and engaging environment for persons with dementia (PWDs) so that they may thrive and live well. The HOP will be the strategic and operational leader driving AHL’s psychosocial vision. Reporting directly to the CEO, this role leads a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, social workers, and engagement specialists to deliver evidence-based PWD care that improves residents’ quality of life, strengthens family partnerships, and advances sector-wide best practice.

The ideal candidate is a clinical psychologist with leadership and research experience, a strong foundation in elderly and dementia care, and the ability to inspire teams to embrace innovation while staying grounded in compassion and dignity.

Key Responsibilities

1. Leadership & Team Development

  • Shape and execute a psychosocial care strategy that integrates clinical, emotional, and social wellbeing for PWDs

  • Lead research initiatives, including conceptualization, data analysis, and reporting
  • Oversee dementia care innovation and research with our partners, evaluate programme outcomes, and share learnings through sector collaborations
  • Work with internal and external partners to enhance our environment as a therapeutic and inspiring space
  • 4. Staff Training, Coaching, and Support

  • Build the psychosocial skills and confidence of nursing, allied health, and care staff through structured training in communication, de-escalation, and empathetic engagement with residents
  • Provide case discussions and supervision for complex behavioural cases
  • Foster a shared culture of dignity, respect, and emotional sensitivity to residents’ needs across the organisation
  • Support staff resilience and reduce burnout through reflective practice sessions and mental wellness initiatives
  • Partner with nursing, medical, and corporate teams to ensure psychosocial principles are embedded in daily care routines
  • Key Competencies
