Head, SHECARES

Who We Are

The SHECARES Centre, an initiative by SG Her Empowerment Limited, is Singapore’s only dedicated support centre offering trauma-informed care and coordinated pathways for all survivors (children, youth, men and women) of online harms, including impersonation, cyberbullying, image-based sexual abuse, and doxxing.

We provide a safe, confidential environment for survivors navigating their healing journeys through our helpline, textline, and face-to-face counselling. In partnership with Pro Bono SG, we also offer pro bono legal support. Where needed, we guide survivors through reporting processes with law enforcement and social media platforms.

Beyond direct support, SHECARES connects individuals with community resources, conducts public education, and deliver straining for community partners. Our work is embedded in SHE’s broader advocacy and research mission — meaning this team contributes to sector-wide change, not just individual cases.

The Centre Head will oversee the strategic direction, operational management, and service quality of SHECARES. The individual will lead a multidisciplinary team comprising counsellors and social service executives, ensuring high-quality, trauma-informed, and client-centred care.

This is a senior leadership role requiring strong operational management, people leadership, and practice oversight capabilities. Candidates with the ability to provide clinical supervision to counsellors and support reflective therapeutic practice should highlight this in their application.

The Centre Head will also be expected to contribute to and participate in advocacy work, taking on a key role in engagements.

This role is open to Singaporeans and PRs only.
