The Role of the Social History Writer at OCS

As a Part-Time patient history writer at Oceanside Community Services, you will create social histories from referrals, questionnaires, interview notes, and other sources. You will independently conduct research to support your work. You will meet with the report administrator on a regular basis to track your progress, deal with any problems you may
be having, and identify errors, inconsistencies, or contradictions in content or methodology.

To be ready for efficient review and final edit by the administrator, your deliverables must be clear, concise, and unbiased (equitable, and without editorial/authorial moral arbitration aside from an overall gentleness in tone). Above all, your work must be very, very accurate; all diagnoses, medications, family history details, significant life events, et cetera, must be precisely as reported.

Additionally, many of our patients have suffered trauma, so this position requires discretion, sensitivity, timeliness, insight, and absolute adherence to house confidentiality policies.

Required Qualifications/Skills To Be Successful

The most eligible candidates will have some background in psychology, medical care or support, behavioral health, clinical documentation, casework/social work, philosophy, and/or professional writing. However, here are a few more general contributions we'll be looking for in our next social history writer:

-Strong writing/editing skills with exceptional attention to detail
-Strong organizational skills (capable of managing multiple priorities and deadlines; ability to collate from multiple sources)
-Commitment to HIPAA compliance and confidentiality
-Ability to work independently (e.g., conduct research when necessary)
-Patience, compassion, and objectivity
-Degree preferred (exceptional high school graduates will be considered)

Making an Impact: The Social History Writer's Workweek

Although this position does offer work-from-home flexibility, our writers generally set their own hours across a M-F schedule. You will receive your assignments by Saturday evening; your deadline for the week is eight (8) days later.

It is essential that your work reflect considerable care, as it will be edited downstream by the administrator prior to submission to OCS doctors. Please note that any evidence of AI use in your work will be grounds for immediate dismissal. This is an analog writing position.

If you are interested in learning more about the position, the application is quick and easy and we encourage you to apply! We look forward to hearing from you.
