Strong communication, flexibility, and a proactive, collaborative approach are essential.

• Comprehensive Benefits Package : Health insurance, retirement plans, generous paid time off, and more
• Integrated Care Model : A truly collaborative experience with primary care providers and other health professionals

Schedule

• Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm or 4 days per week, ensuring patient contact hours are 36 per week

Minimum Qualifications

• Educational Qualifications : Master's degree in Social Work, Psychology, Counseling, or a closely related field.
• Licensure Requirements : Current licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
• Experience working in an integrated care setting preferred but not required.

• Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team and communicate effectively with primary care providers.
• Comfortable with using telehealth technology for remote patient care.
• Flexible and adaptable to changing work environments and patient populations.
• Commitment to providing culturally competent and trauma-informed care.
• Will attend work regularly and on time, as scheduled.

Be part of a community-centered organization that values your expertise and commitment to integrated care. At Praxis Health, you'll find a fulfilling career path, a supportive team, and the opportunity to make a positive impact every day.
