Specialist, Part-time/Flexi-time

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Care Corner Singapore Ltd was founded in 1981, in a climate of changes in the early 1980s, as economic competition in the region intensified and the rift between the wealthy and the lower-income, particularly the Chinese blue-collar workers, widened. Rev Tan Tien Ser and a group of passionate individuals believed that these marginalized people with lower income and little opportunities for a formal education could be helped to realize their potential and become more competent and fulfilled persons. Through a series of early outreach initiatives, Care Corner has evolved into an organization offering a wide range of programmes and services delivered through various social service centres located island-wide. In a bid to stay relevant to the needs of the community, Care Corner has continuously strived to offer new and innovative programmes to support those in need and the less privileged.
