About the Organisation:

Hope Student Care Centre is a faith-based organisation set up by Paya Lebar Methodist Church (Parent Organisation), in collaboration with the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), in 2001. Since then, the centre has been providing a safe and conducive environment for the after-school care of students in the Hougang neighbourhood. As an Administrator of Student Care Fee Assistance (SCFA), we were also able to assist qualified students to apply for subsidies from MSF.

Our students have said that the centre feels like their second home as we not only have dedicated teachers to help them with their school work, but also provide other interesting programmes and activities to help them grow in many ways – physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually. Our home-cooked meals are also highlights that the children look forward to every day.

At HOPE, we treat our teachers like family. We work hard to make sure they are happy and well supported so that they love what they do. Come join us and be a part of the HOPE family!

We are currently seeking a dynamic and self-driven individual to join our team as Centre Manager. The prospective candidate should have a keen interest in the holistic development of the students at the centre and seek to improve and implement programmes and activities to achieve this objective. He/She should work with the key stakeholders (Parent Organisation, School, Parents, Management Committee) to establish and achieve objectives and goals based on the values of the Parent Organisation.

Our centre is located at:
455 Hougang Avenue 10
Singapore 530455
