Mid Level
Step into a pivotal and rewarding role as a Medical Social Worker with a forward‑thinking healthcare team in Georgia, beginning 03/02/2026. This specialized travel assignment places you at the intersection of medicine and human connection, where your expertise in psychosocial assessment, discharge planning, and resource navigation helps patients and families navigate daunting medical journeys. You will partner with interdisciplinary teams to develop compassionate, practical care plans, advocate for patients’ rights, and remove barriers to safe, timely outcomes. As you build meaningful relationships with patients, you’ll also grow your clinical resilience and leadership in complex case management. And when you look up from the chart, you’ll be treated to Georgia’s diverse beauty—from the Appalachian foothills in the north to the sparkling shores of Lake Lanier near Cumming—where outdoor escapes, vibrant communities, and warm hospitality enrich your days off.
Georgia’s natural charm isn’t the only draw. The Cumming area offers a welcoming, tight‑knit community with easy access to Atlanta’s cultural offerings, museums, and dining while providing a quieter pace that supports thoughtful patient care. You’ll enjoy a predictable, guaranteed 40 hours per week, with the travel component expanding your horizon across the U.S. to multiple settings and patient populations. This is your chance to experience the nuance of care delivery in various hospital, clinic, and post‑acute environments, building a versatile portfolio of psychosocial expertise. The assignment’s cadence is designed to balance professional growth with personal well‑being, so you can bring your best energy to patients and families while discovering Georgia’s friendly towns, scenic trails, and lakefront retreats in your downtime.
Role responsibilities center on comprehensive psychosocial assessments, crisis intervention, discharge planning, and linkage to community resources to ensure safe transitions from hospital to home or to the next level of care. You will collaborate with physicians, nurses, social work colleagues, case managers, and therapists to craft person‑centered plans addressing medical, emotional, and social determinants of health. Your advocacy will support patient autonomy, consent, and culturally competent care, while navigating resources such as housing, transportation, financial assistance, and community supports. This is a path for meaningful professional growth in medical social work, with exposure to palliative and end‑of‑life conversations, trauma‑informed practice, care coordination across settings, and ethical decision making. Beyond the core duties, the role offers competitive compensation in a weekly pay range of 1,673 to 1,677 dollars, plus a potential sign‑on bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend the assignment based on performance and staffing needs. You’ll receive robust, 24/7 travel support from a dedicated team, supervisor access, and streamlined onboarding to ensure you can focus on patient care. The position is structured for ongoing employment with guaranteed 40 hours per week, and scheduling flexibility to align with patient needs, site requirements, and continuity of care across shifts and teams.
Our company values empower you at every stage. You’ll join a culture that prioritizes open communication, professional development, and a supportive work environment where your voice matters. We invest in your career through continuing education, mentorship, and opportunities to advance into senior clinical roles or specialized practice areas within medical social work. You’ll find a collaborative atmosphere that honors diverse perspectives, respects work‑life balance, and provides the tools you need to thrive—so you can deliver compassionate care with confidence and grow into leadership within the field.
If you’re a licensed Medical Social Worker with a passion for holistic care and a talent for navigating complex care transitions, this assignment offers an exciting chance to expand your reach while making a tangible difference. Ready to apply and join a team that values your expertise and professional growth?
