Assistant Manager, Nesting Strategy

(Tengah General and Community Hospital)

Before opening, TGCH staff will build professional and team capabilities through structured placements in established Host institutions—an approach known as Nesting. TGCH will apply the NUHS Group HR Nesting Framework and Governance arrangements, adapted to its service, workforce and ramp-up needs.

Within the Nesting Strategy Office in the CEO Office, you will support programme planning, coordination and governance across professional groups, planning teams, Home institutions and Host institutions. You will translate service and workforce plans into an integrated roadmap covering placements, capability-building, timelines, dependencies and funding considerations, and drive decisions and actions to closure. Functional and institutional owners remain accountable for their respective plans and implementation.

As nesting progresses, the role will evolve from planning towards placement administration, implementation support, reporting, issue escalation and programme monitoring.

This role suits a proactive, organised individual who can work with diverse stakeholders, structure complex information and operate effectively in an evolving environment. It offers broad exposure to hospital planning, workforce transformation, governance and cross-institution partnerships.
