Step into a pivotal Medical Social Worker role in Massachusetts, Pittsfield, where your clinical insight and compassionate advocacy converge to lift patient outcomes and family resilience. In this assignment, beginning 12/01/2025, you’ll blend psychosocial expertise with discharge planning, care coordination, and resource navigation to support individuals facing complex medical journeys. You’ll assess needs, identify barriers to care, and partner with interdisciplinary teams to tailor plans that honor patient preferences and promote safe, timely transitions. The impact you’ll make extends beyond hospital walls—every conversation, every link to community supports, every plan you help implement strengthens a patient’s ability to navigate illness with dignity and hope. This is more than a job; it’s an opportunity to shape care that respects who patients are and what matters to their families, in a setting that values growth, collaboration, and lasting change.

Pittsfield, nestled in the scenic Berkshires, offers a distinctive blend of professional purpose and regional charm. Here you’ll practice in a community known for its cultural vibrancy, outdoor recreation, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes long days feel supported and meaningful. The Berkshire landscape—rolling hills, autumn splendor, walking trails, and easy access to nature—provides a restorative backdrop for the balance of demanding clinical work and personal renewal. In addition to serving a regional patient population, this assignment offers the flexibility and enriching experience of occasional travel to other locations across the U.S., exposing you to varied health systems, patient stories, and care models that broaden your professional horizon while keeping you rooted in quality patient care. Whether you’re exploring urban excitement on weekends or savoring quiet Berkshire evenings, Pittsfield invites you to grow professionally while enjoying a region renowned for culture, history, and natural beauty.

Role specifics and benefits: As a Medical Social Worker, you will conduct comprehensive psychosocial assessments, identify psychosocial risk factors, and develop individualized care plans that align with medical treatment goals. You’ll lead discharge planning, arrange post-acute services, coordinate with social services, community resources, and payer agencies, and ensure patients and families understand options, timelines, and expected outcomes. You’ll provide crisis intervention when needed, advocate for patient preferences, and support advanced care planning and informed consent discussions. Documentation in the electronic medical record will be accurate, timely, and compliant, with ongoing collaboration across physicians, nurses, case managers, and therapists to address social determinants of health and reduce barriers to care. The role also invites ongoing professional growth—opportunities to deepen expertise in oncology, palliative care, pediatrics, geriatrics, or behavioral health integration, with pathways for leadership and training responsibilities as your experience expands. In return for your expertise, you’ll receive competitive compensation, with weekly pay ranging from $2,191 to $2,297, a signing incentive or bonus where applicable, and housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs. Contracts include extension opportunities to continue impact and learning beyond the initial term, enabling sustained patient support and career continuity.

To support your success, the company provides robust, round-the-clock backing. You’ll have access to 24/7 support while traveling with the agency, ensuring you’re never alone when navigating complex cases, difficult conversations, or urgent situations. You’ll also benefit from flexible scheduling aligned with the assignment’s weekly demand and patient care needs, while the organization remains committed to a supportive, career-forward environment that prioritizes your well-being, professional development, and work-life balance. In practice, this means mentorship, peer collaboration, structured learning, and a culture that values every clinician’s contributions as essential to the patient journey. The commitment to empowering staff translates into clear opportunities for advancement, recognition of expertise, and a structured path to broaden your impact across diverse clinical settings.

Our values center on empowering you to grow—from clinical competencies to leadership capabilities—within a compassionate, inclusive, high-performing team. The organization emphasizes ongoing education, reflective practice, and a supportive work climate where your professional goals are encouraged and celebrated. You’ll be part of a network that recognizes the critical role of medical social work in improving outcomes, reducing readmissions, and easing the emotional and practical burdens patients and families shoulder during illness. Expect consistent guidance, collaborative problem-solving, and a culture that values curiosity, integrity, and patient-centered care as the foundation of every interaction.
