[What the role is]

Looking for a job that actually makes a difference?
Join us at the Forefront of Shaping Healthier Lives

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.

Regional Roll out and Coordination of HLE

• Support the rollout of the HLE initiative within the assigned region(s), ensuring consistency with national direction while allowing for regional/local adaptations

• Apply HLE standards (e.g. digital wayfinding standard, engagement playbook, and collaboration manual) during initiative rollout and guide grassroot leaders and community partners (e.g. AACs) in using these resources effectively

• Utilise community health dashboards and local data insights to empower grassroots and community leaders in identifying priority health needs and co-creating targeted interventions that address specific neighbourhood health gaps

• Coordinate and support HLE implementation, including meeting facilitation and general project management tasks

Stakeholder Partnership and Capability Building

• Work with grassroot advisors/leaders, clusters, and community partners to co-create and coordinate neighbourhood-level activities and strengthen community-led health agendas, building community ownership and optimising community spaces into vibrant, health-promoting environments

• Deliver training sessions and provide practical support to grassroot leaders and community partners (e.g. AACs) in applying the playbook, message house, menu of actions, wayfinding guides, and dashboards

• Support the team in collaborating with key healthcare partners in their planning and implementation of regional health promotion activities

Programme Activation and Targeted Outreach

• Coordinate community and regional health programmes, ensuring they are relevant to residents and responsive to their needs

• Utilise data to prioritise high-need groups, working with GRAs to apply targeted outreach models, outreach quadrants, and activation toolkits in local contexts

• Connect residents to healthy living assets and programmes by enlivening the lived environment and the Healthy 365 online-offline resident journey, through local mapping that guides them from discovery to sustained participation.

Monitoring, Feedback and Continuous Improvement

• Track ground-level progress of HLE initiatives, consolidate feedback from residents,  local stakeholders, and share insights with the project team and data teams to strengthen impact measurement

• Collate, utilise and evaluate data from other sources where required, to create a comprehensive picture of the precinct's health profile and its target segments

[What we are looking for]

An ideal candidate will be a collaborative leader with a passion for community health promotion transformation and systems thinking. You should have experience in community engagement, partnership management, or public health programme implementation, with the ability to work effectively across diverse stakeholder groups.

The candidate should also possess:

• Qualification in business administration/management, public health/public policy/public administration, sociology/psychology, health sciences, communications/media or related fields

• Adaptability and the ability to work cohesively in fast-paced teams whilst navigating complex, ambiguous situations positively

• Analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a result-oriented mindset

• Comfort working effectively in matrix and highly dynamic team environments

• Basic data analysis and evaluation capabilities

Successful candidates will be offered a 1-year contract.
