Job Description

At WelbeHealth, each participant of our program is guided by our interdisciplinary team (IDT) - composed of clinical and non-clinical members who work cohesively to provide quality comprehensive primary care and social services for frail seniors to keep them living safely in the community. Our values and participant focus lead the way no matter what.

Reporting to the Social Work Manager, the Social Worker maintains a caseload of participants working in close coordination with the IDT. In addition to delivering standard social work services such as psychosocial assessments, care planning, counseling and case management, the Social Worker functions as a liaison between participants, family members, support networks, and care teams as appropriate.

  • This role is different because Social Workers at WelbeHealth:
  • Act as an integral member of an IDT rather than working on an island
  • Collaborate with LCSWs on complex behavioral health issues
  • Establish deep relationships with participants on caseload
  • Help participants age safely and independently in their homes with community resourcing
  • LCSW hours supervision available after 6 months of employment at no cost
  • We care about our team members. That’s why we offer:
  • Medical insurance coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
  • Work/life balance - We mean it! 17 days of personal time off (PTO), 12 holidays observed annually, and 6 sick days
  • 401K savings + match
  • Comprehensive compensation package including base pay and bonus
  • And additional benefits!
