Assistant Director, Population Health and Outreach

ABOUT THE ORGANISATION:
The Health Promotion Board’s (HPB) vision is to build a nation of healthy people. We want to empower residents in Singapore to attain optimal health, increase their quality and years of healthy life, and prevent illnesses, disability and premature death. To achieve this, HPB drives national health promotion and disease prevention programmes, and creates a supportive environment in Singapore where healthy lifestyle options are available and accessible to residents every day.

**ABOUT THE DIVISION**:
To support the Board’s goals, the Regional Health Systems and Community Outreach Division collaborates closely with the community and healthcare partners to co-create regional and community-owned solutions to ensure good coverage and sustainable delivery of priority health promotion programmes in the community setting.

Key programme areas include active ageing, physical activity, nutrition, substance abuse and mental health. The initiatives cover the general population segments from children to seniors, as well as targeted outreach initiatives to ethnic minority groups and disadvantaged groups (such as those from lower socioeconomic status).

This person will look into the collaborations with the whole of government, healthcare partners in identifying the gaps in services and work processes and standards, and help build providers’ capabilities and capacity in the area of preventive health with the support from HPB. He/she will also build partnerships and link up partners into healthy ecosystems so that partners are able to “plug and play” the preventive health bundle programmes in their communities
