Social Worker/Counsellor - Family Support Services

About Us

Care Corner Singapore Ltd was founded in 1981, as economic competition in the region intensified and the rift between the wealthy and the lower-income widened. Rev Tan Tien Ser and a group of passionate individuals believed that marginalised people with lower income and little opportunities for a formal education could be helped to realise their potential. Care Corner has evolved into an organisation offering a wide range of programmes and services delivered through various social service centres, continuously striving to offer new and innovative programmes to support those in need.
