On the day-to-day, you will:
Conduct social work assessments to determine the psychosocial needs, preferences, and goals of participants, and actively participate in IDT meetings to develop participant care plans
Deliver and document social work interventions as agreed upon in participants' care plans, including but not limited to arranging necessary resources and services, assisting with care transitions, providing individual and group counseling, and case management
Partner with the Primary Care Physician and other IDT members to guide smooth care transitions between settings (e.g., hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home)
Initiate, coordinate, and facilitate care conference meetings to ensure the highest level of care coordination among other care team members, participants, and people within the participants' support network (family, informal caregivers, etc.)
Provide discharge planning when participants disenroll from the program
Job requirements include:
Master's degree in social work (MSW) required
Minimum of one (1) year of experience working with a frail or elderly population preferred
Experience coordinating and facilitating care conference meetings preferred
