Job Description
Step into a meaningful role as a Medical Social Worker in Saint Helena, California, where your clinical judgment, compassionate advocacy, and collaborative spirit translate into tangible improvements in patients’ lives during some of their most challenging moments. In this position, you will conduct thorough psychosocial assessments, help families navigate complex medical decisions, and drive discharge planning that ensures safe, sustainable transitions in care. You’ll coordinate with physicians, nurses, social work colleagues, and community resources to address financial, housing, transportation, and psychosocial barriers that impact treatment adherence and outcomes. Your empathetic approach will support patients and caregivers through crisis intervention, coping strategies, and resource linkage, while documenting outcomes and advocating for patient-centered options. Start Date: 12/08/2025, with a contract measured in weeks that invites you to apply your expertise across varied clinical settings while rooted in a renowned California community. California’s beauty is an ongoing benefit—world-class vineyards, rolling hills, redwood forests, pristine coastlines, and vibrant city access within reach—offering opportunities to explore the state’s diverse landscapes when you’re off duty.
Location Benefits: Saint Helena sits in the heart of Napa Valley, offering a serene, close-knit community characterized by safety, accessibility to top-tier healthcare facilities, and a backdrop of scenic wine country. The location blends the charm of small-town living with the prestige of a globally recognized region, where outdoor recreation, culinary excellence, and cultural events enrich your daily life. Beyond Saint Helena, there is the possibility to work across other locations in the United States, expanding your professional horizon while you experience new patient populations, care models, and community resources. You’ll benefit from a supportive environment that values work–life balance, professional networking with multidisciplinary teams, and opportunities to engage with families in diverse settings—from urban clinics to rural outreach—without sacrificing the stability of a central, picturesque base in California.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Medical Social Worker, you’ll lead comprehensive psychosocial evaluations, identify barriers to care, and develop person-centered care plans that align with medical goals and caregiver capacities. Responsibilities include crisis assessment and intervention, coordinating durable medical equipment and community services, facilitating family meetings, linking patients to counseling and financial assistance, and contributing to discharge planning that reduces readmission risk. You’ll document progress, monitor outcomes, and advocate for equitable access to resources across the care continuum, while collaborating with a dynamic team to optimize patient flow and satisfaction. This role offers robust professional growth: access to continuing education opportunities, mentorship from seasoned clinicians, potential for expanded responsibilities such as program development, care coordination leadership, or liaison roles within specialized units. Competitive benefits include a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities for contract extensions to support continuity and career momentum. You’ll enjoy comprehensive support from a dedicated team, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with our company, travel coordination, safety resources, and rapid escalation channels to address any concern that arises during assignments. Weekly pay ranges from $2,164 to $2,246, reflecting the value of your expertise and the critical nature of the work you perform. Note that guaranteed hours are 0.0 on this assignment, and scheduling remains flexible to meet patient and program needs.
