Total Wellness Initiative – Wellness Programme Trainer

The Opportunity

A part of our educational outreach includes developing and delivering programmes about mental health, wellness, and self-care topics to educate the community. One of our flagship programmes is REST for WEllness–a mental health literacy programme co-developed with the IMH and REACH, which has been delivered to students at schools, ranging from secondary to university students in charge of supporting their peers.

We are currently hiring a Programme Trainer to support us with the following responsibilities:

● Deliver the REST for WEllness, as well as other programmes, to diverse audiences in schools and organisations as a Trainer. You will receive training from both REACH and TWIS to ensure that you are well-equipped.

● Coordinate training schedules with teachers from Secondary Schools, Junior Colleges, and other partners and prepare relevant programme materials and logistics to ensure that the programmes run smoothly.

● Conduct research into psychology and wellness topics to develop and create wellness-related materials and programmes.

● Develop fluency of market trends to gain a deeper understanding of wellness in the context of Singapore.

● Support with operational tasks, which include and are not limited to, drafting proposals, recruiting and managing volunteers, managing schedules and tasks, and other admin-related work.

● Support our wellness-related initiatives by connecting and working with our partners, vendors, and the community and kick-start your personal networking experience.

What You Will Experience

Here at TWIS, we value our people and believe in nurturing them to learn and grow. If you are selected, here are some learning experiences you can look forward to:

● Gain a deeper understanding of mental health and specific mental illnesses, as well as avenues for seeking help, methods for coping with stress and peer support skills you can use to support friends who are going through a difficult time.

● Learn and practice your skills in teaching and facilitating discussions, including how to adapt to different audiences, how to ask generative questions, how to manage the energy of a small group and involve quieter people in the group’s discussion.

● Contribute to creating positive change by helping more youths and community members access practical knowledge to improve their mental well-being.

3. Commitment to Quality

You like to do things well when you do them, and are always looking to learn and improve.

4. Trust and Integrity

You are honest, trustworthy and commit to doing what you say.

5. Teamwork

You value relationships and make the effort to spend time listening and befriending other people. You're not afraid to ask for help or provide it when you need to.
