32 hours per week - Continuing Care Manager - Social Worker
The well-established palliative care team at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center continues to expand and is seeking another social worker to join our interdisciplinary team of social workers, nurses, chaplains, volunteers, healing arts, nurse practitioners and physicians. We are looking for a clinical social worker to be fully embedded in our palliative care program, providing counseling to patients and families and supporting the interdisciplinary team. This role requires assessment of individual and family dynamics in an inpatient setting with patients and families experiencing serious illness, the ability to quickly determine and articulate psychological aspects of the illness experience and their impact on coping, and the ability to participate in the coproduction of medical care. Must have capacity and enthusiasm for close collaboration with a mature and high-functioning clinical team. This patient-facing role focuses on specialty skills supporting patients with serious illness and their care partners across the following domains: coping related to serious illness and hospitalization, communication/behavioral plan development including trauma-informed care, complex care and family meetings, grief and bereavement support, psychosocial assessment and interventions, care coordination for team support/dynamics, advance care planning, and relevant resource navigation. This role also often allows for unique continuity experiences with patients and care partners as they transition between inpatient teams and other providers.”
