Job description

Methodist Welfare Services (MWS) is committed to empowering people to have life to the full.

What started as an act of compassion has since grown into a network of services supporting communities across Singapore. We meet people at different points of struggle – poor health, strained relationships, financial distress, or simply feeling alone – and support them to rebuild resilience, restore dignity, and strengthen the relationships that matter most.

Together, our staff, volunteers, partners, and churches serve as a community so that care does not sit on any one pair of shoulders. Our hope is simple: that everyone, regardless of race, language or religion, discovers their strengths, grow into their potential, and experience fullness of life.
