Licensed Social Worker (MSW)

Posting Date

DaVita is looking for a Licensed Social Worker to work with our dialysis patients based out of our Ridge Park Dialysis in Cleveland, Ohio.

This position will cover care of patients at three clinics to include:

Ridge Park Dialysis

Middleburg Heights Dialysis

Villa of Great Northern Dialysis (T/TH/S)

As a Licensed Social Worker at DaVita, you'll be a part of a Team that values work-life balance and where your personal and professional growth is a top priority.

What you can expect:

• Schedule - Monday - Friday 8:00am - 4:30pm (some flexibility/variances depending on patient needs)

• Social workers are responsible for the psychosocial health and wellbeing for our patients so we support those needs, providing interventions as needed and complete mandatory assessments, screenings and education

• Our social workers typically have a caseload of around 125 patients however that's spread between the three above mentioned clinics so it's not that a social work sees that many patients every day

• This position includes three clinics but other than going to your assigned clinics there's usually a social worker meeting at most 1 per quarter

• Build meaningful and long-term relationships with patients and their families in an intimate outpatient setting.

• Be a part of a Team that appreciates, supports, and relies on each other in a positive environment.

• Performance-based rewards based on stellar individual and team contributions.

DaVita has an open position for a Licensed Social Worker who will be a vital member of each patient's core care team. For social workers we really look for empathy and good personal skills. Dialysis patients have a lot to adjust to and need a strong social worker to support them. Being able to work independently is very important but there is a lot of support on the social work side. Life on dialysis can be a difficult transition for many patients-and you'll be there to support and advocate for them. In this vital role, you will help patients understand their rights and responsibilities, and guide them in managing the physical, mental, emotional, and financial demands of End Stage Renal Disease.

If you love patient-centered health care and knowing patients on a personal level-now is your time to explore your next journey-at DaVita.
