Embark on a meaningful journey as a Medical Social Worker in Albany, Oregon, starting February 19, 2026. This opportunity places you at the heart of compassionate care, where your clinical expertise, advocacy, and empathy shape patient experiences during some of life’s most challenging moments. You’ll collaborate with physicians, nurses, case managers, and community partners to ensure holistic support for patients and families, guiding them through admissions, treatment planning, discharge, and post-acute resources. Your role is vital in coordinating services, reducing barriers to care, and helping individuals navigate complex systems with dignity and hope. As you step into this specialty, envision the impact you can make in a community that values thoughtful social work, evidence-based practice, and a patient-centered approach. And because Oregon boasts a diversity of landscapes—from tranquil river valleys to rugged peaks—you’ll have ample inspiration as you care for others and recharge in the state’s natural beauty.
Oregon is famed for its breathtaking scenery and outdoor adventures, and Albany sits surrounded by this remarkable landscape. Picture days spent exploring the Willamette Valley’s rolling hills and vineyards, weekends winding through the lush forests of the Cascade foothills, or taking a drive to the striking coast just a couple of hours away. The state offers a temperate climate, lush greenery, and access to parks, cultural events, farmers’ markets, and a thriving food scene. Separately, you can celebrate the state’s remarkable destinations—from Crater Lake’s sapphire depths to the dramatic cliffs of the Columbia River Gorge and Mount Hood’s snowy slopes—each offering opportunities for renewal and recreation after a meaningful day at work. In Albany, you’ll enjoy a supportive community, convenient amenities, and the chance to grow professionally while staying connected to nature and family-friendly living.
Location benefits extend beyond Albany. The role invites opportunities to work in various locations across the United States, aligning with a strong organizational footprint that values flexibility, cross-site collaboration, and exposure to diverse patient populations. You’ll gain experience across hospital systems, outpatient settings, and community organizations, enriching your clinical repertoire while maintaining the stability of a solid, well-structured assignment. Whether you prefer the Northwest’s serenity, the warmth of smaller communities, or occasional adventures in other regions, this position provides the balance you seek between professional growth and personal well-being. The company supports relocation considerations when applicable and orchestrates seamless transitions so you can focus on delivering outstanding care while expanding your professional horizons.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to reward your expertise and foster ongoing development. Core responsibilities include comprehensive psychosocial assessments, discharge planning, care coordination, and resource navigation to connect patients with community supports, financial assistance, housing, transportation, and post-discharge services. You’ll participate in multidisciplinary rounds, contribute to care plans, document thoroughly in electronic health records, and advocate for patient rights and preferences. In this specialty, you’ll work with diverse populations, including pediatrics, adults, elders, and individuals facing acute medical issues, chronic disease management, or end-of-life considerations. There is substantial room for professional growth through specialized trainings, leadership pathways, and opportunities to shape program development, protocols, and care transition workflows. The role offers competitive benefits, including a bonus program, housing assistance, and the chance to extend contracts based on performance, need, and mutual interest. In addition, you’ll receive robust support for your travel assignments, including 24/7 assistance from dedicated travel coordinators, on-call clinical consultants, and a network of peers to share best practices and guidance. You’ll be supported in pursuing continuing education credits, certifications, and skill-building opportunities aligned with your career goals, ensuring you remain at the forefront of medical social work practice.
The company’s values center on empowering staff, encouraging career advancement, and maintaining a supportive, inclusive work environment. You’ll join a culture that recognizes the powerful role social work plays in healing and health equity, with mentorship from seasoned professionals, peer collaboration, and structured pathways for advancement. The organization emphasizes open communication, employee well-being, and recognition of contributions across all levels—from frontline practitioners to program leaders. Expect transparent feedback, ongoing training, and a commitment to balancing professional demands with personal resilience. This is a place where your voice matters, your expertise is valued, and your growth is a shared priority.
If you’re a compassionate Medical Social Worker with a trauma-informed, client-centered approach and a talent for partnering with patients, families, and interdisciplinary teams, this is an exciting chance to join a company that prioritizes your professional development and well-being.
