Description:

We’re hiring a Social Worker to join our hospital-based care team — perfect for someone who’s compassionate, organized, and ready to support patients through some of the most difficult times of their lives. You’ll work with teens and pre-teens in schools, shelters, or community centers, helping them navigate mental health, peer pressure, and identity issues. You’ll provide bedside counseling, discharge planning, and crisis support for individuals facing serious illness, injury, or life-changing diagnoses. You’ll help patients understand their care options, insurance coverage, and available support services. You’ll assist in crisis intervention, supporting students experiencing bullying, neglect, abuse, or sudden loss. You’ll work closely with outreach teams, shelter staff, healthcare providers, and harm reduction specialists to coordinate care. You’ll be trained to work with people who may be resistant to services, coping with mental illness, or living with untreated conditions. You’ll coordinate with other professionals — from nurses to case managers to counselors — to ensure holistic care. You’ll advocate for young clients in meetings with school officials, probation officers, or family support services.

Basic Qualifications:

• Attend case conferences, court hearings, or interdisciplinary meetings as a client advocate.
• Ensure all actions comply with ethical guidelines, agency policies, and legal standards.
• Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, adjusting plans as needed.
• Assess client needs through interviews, home visits, and collaboration with other professionals.
• Respond with empathy and professionalism when handling sensitive or emotional situations.

Preferred:

• Comfortable facilitating support groups, educational sessions, or family meetings when needed.
• Able to work independently or as part of an interdisciplinary team including healthcare providers, educators, and law enforcement.
• Values empathy, accountability, and empowerment in every client interaction.
• Licensed or registered as a social worker (where applicable) and familiar with local laws and ethical guidelines.
• Willing to conduct home visits, school visits, or community outreach depending on program requirements.

Benefits:

• Opportunities for growth — from case management to specialized programs and leadership roles.
• A supportive, team-based environment — collaborate with other professionals to provide holistic care.
• Your work makes a difference — you’re helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges.
• Supervision and support — you’re not alone in this role, and we provide guidance when you need it.
• Clear career progression — whether you want to specialize or move into management, we offer growth opportunities.

You’ll maintain updated knowledge of local programs, government policies, and eligibility criteria to guide clients effectively. You’ll assist with advocacy for housing placements, emergency shelter, or transitional programs based on client readiness. You’ll advocate for patients who are vulnerable, underinsured, isolated, or facing systemic barriers to care. You’ll receive training in de-escalation, harm reduction, and culturally competent communication with diverse populations. You’ll be a steady source of calm during high-stress conversations, guiding families toward empathy and shared goals. You’ll receive mentorship from clinical supervisors and access to continuing education in medical social work. You’ll work in office settings, schools, hospitals, shelters, or directly in the community, depending on the caseload. No two days will be the same — and that’s why your compassion, resilience, and resourcefulness matter so much. If you're ready to help households reconnect, stabilize, and grow together, we’re ready to welcome you to family social work.
