Social Worker

Here's the real deal on this social work role at AccentCare in Dallas, TX. It's a part time, PRN position for an inpatient hospice setting. The pay range is $30 to $43 an hour, and they note that final offers are based on years of experience.

What you'd be doing

You'd be working as part of an interdisciplinary hospice team. Your core focus is understanding the social, spiritual, and emotional factors affecting a patient's health to help build a care plan that truly honors their dignity.

• Assess the patient's and their chosen family's capacity to cope with daily living and a terminal illness.
• Help prepare patients and families for changes, which includes education on advance directives and care planning.
• Connect people with all available resources, from family support to community agencies.
• Participate in developing and reviewing care plans for every patient on your caseload.
• A big part of this role involves discharge planning when a patient's level of care or location needs to change.
• You'd also provide support for the program's bereavement services.

The background we need

This isn't an entry level gig. You need solid professional experience post grad.

• A Master’s Degree from an accredited school of Social Work or a closely related field is mandatory.
• You must have at least one year of professional social work experience in a healthcare setting after getting your degree. Two or more years is preferred.
• A valid state license or permit to practice clinical social work is required if our agency operation mandates it for the role.
• A background in Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance specialty work is a plus.
• Any experience or education in grief counseling would be really valuable here.
• They specifically mentioned that discharge planning experience is preferred.
• You need to be a licensed driver with reliable transportation to get to our business locations as needed.
