Job Description

NTUC Health is a leading provider of eldercare and community care services in Singapore. Our mission is to provide quality and affordable care that helps seniors age with dignity and participate actively in the community.

• Boosting Teamwork: Leading efforts to identify gaps in care, simplify how we work together, and make our services easier for seniors and their families to access.

Key Responsibilities

• Assessment Capability Scoping & Management:Establish operational guidelines for centralized assessment support (InterRAI CU) across Senior Care Centres, Home Care, and Community Social Services; directly conduct assessments while evaluating workload volume to determine future team scaling (up to 4 assessors). Be willing and able to eventually become a master trainer for Interai for an envisaged train-the-trainer model.
• Internal Care Coordination Optimization: Streamline internal onboarding and transfer processes, working closely with Care Coordinators across NTUC Health to standardize handoffs and eliminate transition bottlenecks.
• \"One Care Plan\" Strategy Integration: Contribute towards the design, pilot, and evaluation of journey-based integration models that unify multidisciplinary care plans into a single client record.
• Quality & Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all assessment workflows adhere to AIC guidelines, MOH regulatory standards, and internal clinical/social governance frameworks.
• Team Supervision (Phase 2): Recruit, onboard, train and supervise junior Care Assessors as assessment demand expands.
