Oversee the department’s financial, corporate reporting, and human resource matters.
Care for and nurture staff to their fullest potential to achieve the department and NCSS’ outcomes. Work closely with the Volunteerism Strategy team, teams/divisions within NCSS, public agencies, and other stakeholders in the 3P sectors to catalyse sustainable volunteerism in the sector.
This includes working closely with Capability Implementation teams to encourage the sector to build stronger volunteer management capabilities which include the hiring of Volunteer Managers, strengthening volunteer practices, adopting volunteer management systems, and increasing Volunteer Management Maturity (VMM) Matrix scores.
Lead the team to identify trends in volunteerism and gaps in volunteer management based on research studies/data and ground sensing efforts.
Establish relationships with key stakeholders in the volunteerism and/or volunteer management ecosystem (e.g., Ministry of Culture Community and Youth, National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre, Agency for Integrated Care) to influence and/or mobilise them to collaborate for pioneering/pilot projects.
