This full-time role focuses on providing emotional support, advocacy, and personalized care plans for our clients, ensuring they receive the best quality of life during their most critical times.

About the Organization\n

At Tranquil Minds Wellness, we specialize in delivering holistic care to seniors and their families. Our mission is to create a supportive environment that addresses both the physical and psychological needs of our clients. We recognize the unique challenges faced by seniors, especially those in hospice care, and work tirelessly to provide meaningful assistance and resources to improve their daily lives.

Work Environment\n

This role is primarily remote, offering flexibility to work from home while actively engaging with clients and families via virtual meetings. Our work setting encourages collaboration with interdisciplinary teams, including nurses, therapists, and healthcare professionals, ensuring comprehensive support for our clients. Although the majority of work is conducted remotely, occasional in-person visits to clients may be necessary based on needs and case management requirements.

Key Responsibilities\n

The Licensed Master Social Worker will be responsible for a variety of tasks aimed at fostering the well-being of our hospice clients, including:

\n

\n
• Conducting comprehensive assessments of each client’s psychosocial needs, considering emotional, social, and mental health factors which influence their quality of life.
\n
• Developing tailored care plans in collaboration with clients and their families, ensuring alignment with their goals and preferences, which may include intricate end-of-life decisions.
\n
• Providing counseling and emotional support to clients and their families, helping them navigate transitions related to serious or terminal illnesses.
\n
• Advocating fiercely for clients’ rights to access resources and support services within the community, ensuring they receive the holistic care they deserve.
\n
• Collaborating with a team of healthcare professionals to coordinate and enhance overall client care, addressing complex needs that may arise.
\n
• Monitoring the well-being of clients through regular virtual check-ins, assessing living conditions, and discussing any concerns or safety issues with family members.
\n
• Facilitating communication among family members to resolve conflicts and ensure a cohesive approach to client care.
\n
• Educating clients and their loved ones regarding community resources and support programs that enhance social engagement and quality of life.
\n
• Maintaining meticulous documentation of client interactions, assessments, and progress notes in compliance with regulatory standards and best practices.
\n

Patient Population / Client Focus\n

Our primary focus is on seniors receiving hospice care—individuals facing life-limiting illnesses who require specialized comprehensive support during their final stages of life. This role involves working closely with clients and their families to address emotional, psychological, and social challenges, ensuring that each individual’s needs are met with compassion and respect.

Qualifications\n

\n
• A Master’s Degree in Social Work from an accredited institution.
\n
• Current and valid state licensure as a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW).
\n
• A minimum of two years of direct experience in social work, particularly within hospice, geriatric, or community-based settings.
\n
• Strong understanding of social work principles and practices as they relate to aging-related issues, grief, and end-of-life care.
\n
• Proficient in using electronic health record (EHR) systems to document client information accurately and efficiently.
\n
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, essential for building rapport with clients and collaborating with a diverse range of healthcare professionals.
\n

Preferred Experience\n

Experience working specifically in a hospice or palliative care setting is highly desirable, as it provides an understanding of the unique challenges faced by seniors and their families during this sensitive time. Familiarity with community resources and advocacy techniques will enhance your ability to effectively support our client population.

Compensation and Benefits\n

Tranquil Minds Wellness offers a competitive salary ranging from $60,000 to $100,000 annually, commensurate with experience and qualifications. Our comprehensive benefits package includes:

\n

\n
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance to ensure you and your family’s health needs are met.

\n
• Professional liability insurance coverage for peace of mind in your practice.
\n
• Opportunities for continuing education and professional development support to help you advance your skills and knowledge in social work.
