Job Purpose
The Centre for Holistic Initiative for Learning and Development (CHILD) brings together experts in the field of translational research, child health and development, and implementation science to accelerate the use of evidence in policy and practice and give every child the best start in life.
This senior leadership role at CHILD, reports to the Dean of Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, who is also Chair of the Board for the Centre, and is tasked with the development and delivery of the vision and objectives of the Centre. The Director is accountable for the leadership, management and delivery of the wider mission of the Centre, which is to give all children in Singapore the best possible start in life.
Funded through a very generous gift by the Lien Foundation, the Centre is hosted within the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine within NUS and is a partnership between NUS, The Singapore Institute of Clinical Sciences (www.a-star.edu.sg/sics), the Centre for Evidence and Implementation (www.ceiglobal.org) and the National University Hospital Pte Ltd. The Centre aims to deliver innovative and policy relevant research and translation activities that place good evidence at the core of decision making to improve outcomes for children in Singapore, from pre-conception to the age when they enter primary school. Across its partners, the Centre integrates expertise in child health and development, developmental neuroscience, service experience and evaluation, behavioural and implementation science and teaching.
The current strategy of the Centre focuses on the following five interrelated domains of activity:
Horizon scanning of the early childhood landscape in partnerships with Ministries and policy makers in Singapore, and further afield, to identify major areas requiring policy, educational, health or other interventions.
Synthesising evidence on childhood developmental challenges and effective interventions in children, from pre-conception to the age of primary school attendance and translating knowledge for policy makers and practitioners.
Capacity strengthening through education, co-delivery of programs or services to early childhood professionals, families and the community which supports the holistic care of children.
Design, implementation and evaluation of innovations in the educational, social and health services for children, supported through the use of evidence and data-driven design and processes, which are contextualised and relevant to partners and the local landscape.
Scaling and broadening access of evidence-based innovations through the use of behavioural and implementation sciences and leading purposeful stakeholder engagement.
