Human Resource Lead / Chief Human Resource Officer, EGH

The upcoming Eastern General Hospital (EGH) seeks to provide excellent healthcare and promote healing that is centered around each person. When operational, EGH will provide a comprehensive range of inpatient and outpatient clinical specialties and healthcare services covering emergency, acute and secondary care. EGH’s vision is to be a great hospital for the community and a great workplace for staff, and it seeks to do so by harnessing innovative technologies in patient care, journeying closely with patients and the community to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives, and being an employer of choice that empowers staff in their careers.

As the Human Resource (HR) Lead/ Chief Human Resource Officer, you will direct the development and implementation of human resource strategies to build a motivated, engaged and high performing workforce at EGH. You will report to the Pro Tem Chief Executive Officer, EGH and have a matrix reporting line to the Group Chief Human Resource Officer, SingHealth. 

You will oversee all human resource functions, including manpower resourcing and planning, talent acquisition and development, employee and industrial relations, talent management and succession planning, leadership development, organisational design, staff retention, rewards and performance management, as well as change management. As EGH is currently still in the pre-operational phase, the scope will also extend to the planning and implementation of workforce build-up, deployment and nesting.

Additionally, you will manage all HR functions for SingHealth-employed staff hosted at EGH. The role requires close collaboration with heads of departments, Hospital Planning Committee leads, institution heads, and other stakeholders to provide HR support that enables integrated, quality patient care across SingHealth institutions, including EGH.
