Care Manager - Social Worker

Job Description: Care Manager, Social Worker Monogram Health is seeking a Social Worker to join our integrated in-home care teams, working alongside Nurse Care Managers and Advanced Practice Providers. Our patients often face complex chronic medical conditions coupled with behavioral health challenges, making the social worker a critical clinical expert within the care team. In this role, social workers practice with a high degree of autonomy. Responsibilities include assessing patients' behavioral, social, and environmental needs; utilizing validated screening tools; identifying behavioral health concerns; determining when clinical intervention is warranted; and serving as a trusted behavioral health resource for fellow clinicians. Because this position requires independent clinical judgment and practice, the successful candidate will hold an active, unrestricted LCSW license in the state of employment. Social workers who require ongoing clinical supervision to practice independently, including those at the master's or associate level pursuing full licensure, are not eligible for this role. This is a unique opportunity to apply advanced clinical social work skills within a multidisciplinary, home-based care model focused on improving outcomes for some of the highest-need patients in healthcare. Your Impact The care team works with patients face-to-face, over the phone, and through telehealth to identify and address social determinants of health. The goal is to build a patient’s social support network, navigate behavioral challenges, and generally help patients through a traumatic diagnosis and life-changing disease.Your gifts as a healthcare professional are urgently needed. In healthcare systems, the patient has too often become secondary due to processes and incentives that don’t positively impact the patient for the long term.
