[What the role is]
The Health Promotion Board’s vision is to make Singapore a nation of healthier people.Come be a part of this journey if you’re passionate about creating boundary-pushing work that drives behavioral change.
You will be part of HPB’s Integrated Outreach team, which aims to create a Health Living Environment (HLE) where we make healthy living as part of every day life in Singapore. We aim to do so by place making, activating communities and empowering community leaders to play a role in health promotion. This transformative project shifts HPB's role from traditional programme provider to community enabler, embedding health promotion into citizens' lived environments across entire neighbourhoods. We are seeking a dynamic and strategic Manager/Senior Manager to spearhead community activation and drive sustainable behavioural change together with healthcare cluster (SingHealth, National University Hospital Systems, National Healthcare Group) and other community partners at the town level.
[What you will be working on]
As a core member of the HLE initiative, you will be responsible for operationalising an innovative approach to community health that reaches the unreached and transforms neighbourhoods into health-promoting ecosystems. This role represents HPB's strategic pivot towards citizen-centric, place-based health interventions that integrate clinical care with lifestyle support anchored in local communities. You will develop skills in translating data insights into clear strategies and practical actions, data storytelling, stakeholder engagement and negotiation, project management, and cross-agency coordination.
