We personally review every application and look forward to learning more about you.

Sometimes the Most Important Thing You Can Offer Isn't a Medical Intervention. It's Your Presence.

During one of the most difficult seasons of a family's life, people often remember the social worker who listened without rushing, explained what came next, found answers when they felt overwhelmed, and simply stayed present when words were hard to find.

At Superior Hospice , we believe compassionate care extends far beyond medicine.

We're looking for a Hospice Social Worker who understands that supporting the emotional, social, and practical needs of patients and families is just as important as managing symptoms.

If you're someone who believes relationships matter, conversations matter, and showing up fully for families matters, we'd love to meet you.

Why Superior Hospice?

• Join a growing, mission-driven hospice organization.
  
• Work alongside experienced nurses, chaplains, hospice aides, physicians, and volunteers who truly value interdisciplinary care.
  
• Build meaningful relationships with patients and families instead of feeling rushed through visits.
  
• Leadership that understands the unique value social workers bring to hospice.
  
• An environment where compassion, teamwork, and dignity guide every decision.
  
• Opportunity to help shape a growing hospice program while making a lasting difference every day.
  

What You'll Do

• Complete comprehensive psychosocial assessments for hospice patients and families.
  
• Provide emotional support, counseling, crisis intervention, and grief support throughout the hospice journey.
  
• Help families understand available resources, community services, financial assistance, and advance care planning.
  
• Advocate for patients while ensuring their emotional, cultural, and psychosocial needs are respected.
  
• Collaborate closely with nurses, physicians, chaplains, hospice aides, and the interdisciplinary team to provide holistic care.
  
• Support family meetings, care planning, discharge coordination when appropriate, and bereavement planning.
  
• Maintain timely, accurate documentation while ensuring compliance with hospice regulations and Medicare Conditions of Participation.
  
• Be a trusted source of guidance, reassurance, and compassion during life's most meaningful moments.
  

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Social Work (BSW or MSW).
  
• Hospice experience is required.
  
• Strong understanding of grief, loss, end-of-life care, and family dynamics.
  
• Exceptional communication, active listening, and relationship-building skills.
  
• Ability to work independently while thriving as part of an interdisciplinary team.
  
• Compassionate, dependable, organized, and emotionally resilient.
  
• Passion for serving patients and families with dignity, empathy, and respect.
  

The Difference You'll Make

Families may not remember every clinical detail.

They will remember the person who helped them navigate uncertainty.

The person who answered difficult questions.

The person who made them feel heard.

The person who reminded them they weren't alone.

That person could be you.
