Fixed Terms

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 behavioural change.

You will be a part of HPB’s Healthy Ageing Programmes Department, which strives to help seniors aged 50 years and over to improve and maintain their functional ability through healthy lifestyle practices and increase the quality and years of healthy life. The division is responsible for driving strategies, developing, implementing and reviewing programmes, including “Live Well, Age Well”, which was launched in 2022, in support of the Government’s Action Plan for Successful Ageing, to keep seniors active, engaged and productive.

This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the ageing experience of our residents and not only help them live long, but live healthier longer.

What you will be working on

This includes programme design with intention to scale, programme implementation, and programme evaluation (including but not limited to process, operational and outcome measures) to support iterative changes to programme design.

You will be working with diverse stakeholders including appointed vendors, healthcare clusters and educational partners to ensure robust programme delivery by adequately trained fitness trainers. You will also review programme curriculum, resources, risk management framework and processes to ensure efficient and quality programme delivery.

What we are looking for

Excellent inter-personal skills and emotional intelligence to manage internal and external stakeholders
Ability to communicate effectively with verbal, written and presentation skills to present ideas and concepts
Good analytical skills including programme evaluation skills
