Job description

What The Role Is

The Resilience and Engagement Division (RED) helps build a strong society by strengthening social capital, and inspiring and empowering individuals to contribute to the common good.

You will be part of the SG Cares Office’s Policy & Planning team that reviews and formulates policies, strategies and plans to promote and strengthen volunteerism and philanthropy in Singapore.

We engage and work with a wide range of stakeholders – government agencies, non-profit entities such as the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre and the Community Foundation of Singapore, and other community partners – to design, implement and evaluate these policies and plans.

Your Responsibilities Include

• Developing an understanding of, and monitoring and analysing what drives giving by individuals and organisations in Singapore.
• Identifying opportunity areas to grow volunteerism and philanthropy in Singapore, and working with government agencies to review existing policies and programmes, or develop new ones.
• Designing our strategic communications to shape perceptions and behaviours on giving.
• Enlisting and engaging non-government stakeholders to partner the Government, and each other, to drive our agenda on building a caring and inclusive society.
• Strategic planning and co-ordination of whole-of-government platforms that drive the agenda on building a caring and inclusive society, such as the SG Cares Steering Committee.

• Excellent inter-personal and communication skills and able to work well both within a team and across organisational and sectoral boundaries
• Good writing and presentation skills
• Shortlisted applicants will be notified within 4 weeks of the closing date of this job posting
