Deliver direct care and consultation that meets all professional and program standards
Prioritize safety, quality, and inclusivity in every interaction
Ensure care is always age-appropriate and patient-centered
Bring a friendly, approachable attitude to every patient, visitor, and colleague
Stay sharp and informed-keeping up with all compliance, licensing, and ethical standards

What You'll Bring

A Master's Degree in Social Work or equivalent education/experience combo
Current licensure as a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) or Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
At least 3 years of experience in a healthcare setting
Strong communication skills (both written and verbal)
Ability to read and speak English fluently

You won't just be another provider-you'll be a key voice on the care team , a champion of mind-body health, and a part of a mission that truly matters. Our team values collaboration, compassion, and continuous learning. Plus, we believe in having each other's backs.
