Senior Executive​/Assistant Manager, Patient Office

About Us

Woodlands Hospital is a next-generation healthcare system in Singapore, designed from the ground up to meet the future of care. As an integrated acute and community hospital with specialist outpatient clinics and innovative care models, we go beyond traditional hospital walls to deliver person‑centred, connected, and seamless care. Our mission is to redefine healthcare for a rapidly aging and diverse population through digital innovation, preventive health, and strong partnerships with the community.

With our commitment to team‑based care, sustainability, and health equity, Woodlands Hospital is not just about treating illness — we are building a healthier future for all.

As an Executive in the Patient Experience Office (Volunteer Services), you play a pivotal role in shaping and sustaining the Woodlands Health experience for our patients, families, caregivers, and staff. Your role ensures that volunteer programmes are thoughtfully designed, well‑managed, and aligned with organisational priorities to enhance patient engagement, improve care experiences, and strengthen community partnership. By building internal capability and fostering a vibrant volunteer community, you enable patients and caregivers to partner with us towards better health.

This position places you at the heart of advancing person‑centred care beyond clinical delivery — strengthening engagement, empowerment, and service excellence across the organisation. If you are passionate about community engagement, programme development, and improving patient experiences through purposeful volunteerism, this role offers an opportunity to make a meaningful difference every day.
