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 engage directly with unhoused individuals in shelters, encampments, drop-in centers, or on the streets to build trust and offer support. You’ll connect people with community resources such as housing assistance, food programs, mental health services, or job training. You’ll help create safe spaces where young clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to express themselves. You’ll provide short-term counseling or connect families to long-term therapists, legal aid, or parenting programs. 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 collaborate with teachers, counselors, and juvenile services to ensure at-risk youth receive coordinated care. You’ll advocate for young clients in meetings with school officials, probation officers, or family support services.

Basic Qualifications:

• De-escalate conflicts and promote communication within families or support networks.
• Advocate for vulnerable populations, ensuring access to services and protection of rights.
• Support clients through crisis situations such as domestic violence, homelessness, or addiction.
• Attend case conferences, court hearings, or interdisciplinary meetings as a client advocate.
• Work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Preferred:

• Thrives in people-focused environments where compassion and structure go hand in hand.
• Willing to conduct home visits, school visits, or community outreach depending on program requirements.
• Strong interpersonal skills to build trust, defuse conflict, and support clients through emotional or practical challenges.
• Comfortable using social work software, secure databases, or case tracking tools.
• Willing to participate in trainings, workshops, or ongoing professional development programs.

Benefits:

• Empathy-driven culture — you’ll work with people who share your passion for helping others.
• Recognition — the hard work you do is seen, and we take time to appreciate your contributions.
• Regular team meetings — where you can share experiences, advice, and best practices.
• Room to innovate — we encourage social workers to bring new ideas to the table.
• A supportive, team-based environment — collaborate with other professionals to provide holistic care.

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 lead or support group sessions, workshops, or community meetings depending on your assignment and training. You’ll lead or co-facilitate workshops on emotional literacy, self-esteem, conflict resolution, or life planning. You’ll receive supervision, ongoing training, and opportunities for certification or advancement within the agency. 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 clinical license is required — just emotional maturity, excellent listening skills, and a passion for strengthening families. If you’re ready to help people rebuild their lives with dignity and guidance, we’re ready to welcome you as a Social Worker.
