Be the Steady Hand When Families Need It Most

Hospice care isn't just clinical — it's deeply human. At Transitions Hospice, our Social Workers are the emotional and practical lifeline for patients and families navigating one of life's most complex chapters. From grief support to community resources to advance care planning, you help families find footing when the ground feels uncertain.

We believe that psychosocial care is just as essential as medical care. If you're a licensed social worker who wants to work somewhere that actually lives that belief — this is your place.

  • Conducting thorough, compassionate initial psychosocial, spiritual, and pre-bereavement assessments for patients, families, and caregivers
  • Providing ongoing emotional support and counseling as a consistent presence throughout the care journey
  • Identifying and connecting families with community resources — including financial assistance — to meet practical and emotional needs
  • Guiding families through Advanced Directives with clarity and sensitivity
  • Assisting with facility placement for patients when appropriate
  • Maintaining accurate, timely clinical documentation at the patient's residence and in agency records
  • Actively contributing to interdisciplinary team and IDG meetings to shape holistic care plans
  • Participating in on-call duties on evenings and weekends as needed
  • Managing caseload while Assuring compliance with local, state, and federal laws, Medicare regulations, and established personnel policies and procedures
