What is community care in Singapore?
Community care refers to the health and social care that supports people to age and recover in the community, rather than in an acute hospital. As Singapore’s population ages, the sector is growing quickly, and it is backed by national bodies such as the Agency for Integrated Care and the Ministry of Health.
Community care spans both clinical and non-clinical work, and it needs people from all kinds of backgrounds. You can join Homage as a Care Professional and take on community care jobs in Singapore.
Types of community care jobs
The sector offers a wide range of roles, so there is likely a path that fits your background.
Care and support roles
Frontline roles such as Community Care Associate (CCA), Senior Community Care Associate, healthcare assistant, basic care assistant, nursing aide and therapy aide. These are the most common entry points, and most can be started without prior experience.
Nursing roles
Enrolled and registered nurses provide clinical care in the community. If you are qualified, explore our nursing roles.
Allied health roles
Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, medical social workers and dietitians support rehabilitation and wellbeing. See our allied health and therapy roles.
Operations and administration roles
The sector also needs people in human resources, communications, finance, IT and programme management to keep care organisations running.
Community care career track
One of the biggest advantages of community care is a clear, structured way to progress. Under the Community Care Career Track, frontline care and support staff can advance step by step:
- Community Care Associate (CCA), the frontline entry role
- Senior Community Care Associate, taking on more responsibility and mentoring
- Community Care Executive, coordinating and supervising care
- Community Care Manager, leading teams and services
Nursing and allied health roles follow their own professional ladders, so wherever you start, there is room to grow.
Training and funding pathways into community care
You can enter community care from many starting points, and there is national support to help you train:
- Place-and-Train: Get hired first and trained on the job, ideal if you have no experience
- WSQ and skills courses, such as the WSQ Certificate in Healthcare Support
- The Community Care Manpower Development Award (CCMDA), a national scheme that sponsors community care staff to upgrade their qualifications
- Mid-career conversion routes for people switching from other industries
Check the Agency for Integrated Care for the latest on national training schemes and eligibility.
Community care vs home care: what is the difference?
Community care is the umbrella term for care delivered outside hospital, across three broad settings: care in the home, care at community venues such as senior care and day care centres, and residential care in nursing homes.
Home care is one part of this, the care delivered in a person’s own home. If you want to work directly with clients where they live, home and community-based roles like those at Homage are a natural entry point into the wider sector.
