About the Organization\n

Self Harmony Counseling is a community-focused organization committed to promoting mental and emotional health among our senior clients. We specialize in providing comprehensive support in detoxification and treatment settings, where we recognize the unique challenges that seniors face. Our mission is to ensure that each client not only receives medical care but also attains emotional stability and social engagement through personalized services.

Work Environment\n

This role is a fully remote position, allowing for flexibility while supporting seniors in a detox facility. Though your work will primarily be conducted from your own location, consistent communication with interdisciplinary teams—including healthcare providers, caregivers, and families—will be essential to ensure seamless client care. Our organization values collaboration, and we strive to create an environment that fosters mutual support among team members.

Key Responsibilities\n

As a Licensed Master Social Worker, your daily responsibilities will include:

\n
• Advocating effectively for clients’ rights across multiple platforms to promote access to vital community resources and services.
\n
• Active engagement with interdisciplinary teams, ensuring that holistic care plans are executed effectively and reviewing client progress regularly.
\n
• Conducting routine visits, both virtually and occasionally in-person, to monitor client well-being, assess living conditions, and address any immediate safety concerns.
\n
• Facilitating family meetings to improve communication and resolution of conflicts with respect to the care of senior clients.
\n
• Educating clients and families about community resources, support groups, and programs available to enhance social engagement.
\n
• Maintaining diligent documentation of client interactions, assessments, and care plans within electronic health record (EHR) systems, complying with ethical standards and industry regulations.
\n

Patient Population / Client Focus\n

The primary focus of this role is to serve the senior population residing in a detox center. Many clients may be navigating complex emotional and social issues alongside substance dependencies, and it is essential to address these needs uniquely. Your role will involve understanding the nuanced experiences of older adults, particularly in the context of their ongoing recovery and reintegration challenges.

• A Master's degree in Social Work from an accredited institution is mandatory.
\n
• Current and valid licensure as a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in the state of Florida.
\n
• A minimum of two years of relevant social work experience, ideally involving direct work with seniors or within a community service setting.
\n
• In-depth knowledge of social work principles, emotional and aging-related issues, and familiarity with geriatric service resources.
\n
• Proven ability to conduct assessments, provide counselling, and solve problems within complex, multifaceted cases.
\n
• Demonstrated empathy and compassion while building meaningful relationships with clients and their families.
\n
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, supporting effective collaboration with various healthcare professionals.
\n
• Proficiency with electronic health record (EHR) systems and related computer applications is preferred.

Preferred Experience\n

Additional preferences for candidates include experience within detox centers or rehabilitation services, combined with a background addressing addiction-related issues among the elderly. Understanding the specific pathways for senior recovery, including program navigation, family dynamics, and community support will be invaluable.
