Mid Level
Step into a pivotal role as a Medical Social Worker in Georgia, where every client interaction becomes a catalyst for better health outcomes, stronger families, and collaborative care that honors dignity and autonomy. This dedicated opportunity invites experienced social work professionals to apply clinical insight, empathy, and advocacy across complex medical journeys—whether guiding patients through discharge planning, coordinating community resources, or partnering with care teams to remove barriers to care. Starting 01/19/2026, you’ll join a mission-driven organization that values your voice, your expertise, and your commitment to compassionate, evidence-based practice. Beyond the bedside, Georgia’s diverse landscapes invite exploration—from the scenic Blue Ridge foothills in the north to the historic streets of Savannah and the dynamic neighborhoods around Atlanta—offering abundance of culture, outdoor beauty, and a welcoming sense of place that enhances every professional and personal moment.
In Lawrenceville, Georgia, you’ll find a community that blends suburban comfort with proximity to a thriving medical ecosystem, making it an ideal base for high-impact social work in healthcare. The location benefits extend to access to robust networks of hospitals, clinics, and social services, enabling you to coordinate resources efficiently while enjoying a reasonable cost of living, strong schools, and easy access to the city’s arts, dining, and family-friendly outdoor spaces. For seasoned travelers who relish variety, this role also offers the opportunity to work in various locations across the U.S., expanding your professional horizons and exposing you to diverse patient populations, program models, and care settings. You’ll gain firsthand experience with different discharge pathways, palliative and end-of-life planning, community-based supports, and multidisciplinary teamwork that enriches your clinical repertoire while enriching the communities you serve.
The role’s core responsibilities are thoughtfully designed to leverage your expertise and support your growth within the medical social work specialty. You’ll perform comprehensive psychosocial assessments, identify barriers to care, and develop patient-centered plans that align with medical goals and family dynamics. You’ll coordinate with physicians, nurses, case managers, and community agencies to arrange housing, transportation, financial assistance, and supportive services that facilitate safe transitions, reduce readmissions, and promote patient and family empowerment. You’ll provide counseling to patients and families navigating diagnoses, treatment decisions, and complex psychosocial stressors, while ensuring culturally competent and ethically sound practices. You’ll document plans, track progress, and advocate for resources at the bedside and in the broader care continuum. You’ll participate in reflective practice, quality improvement initiatives, and professional development opportunities that keep you at the forefront of evidence-based social work in healthcare. The role also offers pathways for professional growth through certifications, mentorship, and potential leadership involvement as you demonstrate impact and reliability.
Compensation and benefits are designed to attract and retain dedicated professionals who value stability, growth, and recognition. You’ll earn a competitive weekly pay range of 1,715 to 1,783, with guaranteed hours at 40.0 per week, and the security of an initial contract measured in weeks with extension opportunities. A signficant benefit of joining our team is housing assistance to ease transitions when you’re assigned to new locations, along with a competitive bonus structure that rewards your commitment and performance. In addition, you’ll enjoy comprehensive support that travels with you: 24/7 assistance from our dedicated team while you’re on the road, ensuring you never face logistical or clinical questions in isolation. We understand that travel adds unique demands, and our framework is designed to provide timely guidance, access to resources, and responsive problem-solving so you can focus on delivering exceptional patient care.
Our company values a work culture that empowers staff to grow, learn, and advance. We are committed to fostering a collaborative, respectful environment where your expertise is recognized, your professional development is supported, and your career trajectory is shaped by your aspirations and performance. Expect robust onboarding, ongoing education opportunities, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and transparent pathways to advanced roles within medical social work or broader healthcare leadership. We believe that supporting you—through mentorship, flexible scheduling where possible, and a culture of open communication—drives better outcomes for patients and richer professional fulfillment for you.
