Overview

The Sun Ray Scheme is a leadership programme to harness individuals with strong leadership qualities, mobilising them to lead agencies and professional practices in the social service sector. Individuals under the Sun Ray Scheme will have the opportunity to experience rotations across social service agencies across the different sub-sectors, ensuring their holistic development and giving them cross-organisational exposure.

The scheme aims to allow these individuals to develop a broader perspective of the sector and deeper sectoral knowledge to help build the capability and capacity of the social service agencies they are deployed to.

How to apply

The Sun Ray Scheme is always on the lookout for individuals with strong motivation and leadership capabilities to lead agencies or professional practices.

If you are interested in taking the first step in your Sun Ray journey and making an impact in the social service sector, we would love to hear from you. Please email us at sun_ray@ncss.gov.sg with your latest CV and a cover letter explaining why you are reaching out.

We will be in touch with candidates whose experience matches our current opportunities.
