Travel Social Worker Medical Social Worker Job
Working in Brattleboro offers a balance of close-knit community support and access to regional healthcare networks. You’ll experience a Vermont where care teams collaborate across acute care, hospice, and outpatient services, with opportunities to extend your reach to facilities across the Northeast if your schedule allows. Brattleboro’s location presents easy access to scenic drives, outdoor recreation, and culturally rich events, all of which support a resilient, patient-centered approach. For those who prefer broader horizons, there is the option to participate in assignments at partner sites across the U.S., enabling exposure to diverse populations while maintaining the same high standards of professional practice and safety.
Key responsibilities include comprehensive psychosocial assessments to identify barriers to care, discharge planning that ensures safe transitions, resource navigation for housing, financial assistance, transportation, and caregiver support, and close collaboration with medical teams to align psychosocial goals with clinical plans. You will document needs, risks, and plans in patient records, facilitate family meetings, and advocate for equitable access to services and supports, including palliative and end-of-life planning when appropriate. This role offers clear pathways for growth within medical social work, with opportunities to specialize in transition-of-care coordination, hospital-based case management, or community-based support programs. In return for your expertise, the package includes a competitive pay range of $2,432 to $2,596 per week, with guaranteed 40 hours weekly, and a focus on stable, multi-week placements. Additional benefits include a signing bonus, housing assistance, and potential extension opportunities to continue your impact beyond the initial assignment. You’ll receive comprehensive, around-the-clock support from our dedicated team, including 24/7 travel assistance while you are on assignment, ensuring you have resources, guidance, and troubleshooting help whenever you need it. The role also emphasizes evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches, ethical practice, and a commitment to anti-racist and culturally competent care, aligning with best practices and your professional values.
Our company is rooted in empowerment, career advancement, and a supportive work environment. We invest in ongoing education, mentorship, and structured career pathways that recognize your experience and aspirations. You’ll join a network of healthcare professionals who share a patient-first mindset, collaborate across disciplines, and celebrate achievements—whether that means improved discharge outcomes, stronger family engagement, or successful care coordination across settings.
