Job Description

Spirit Hospice believes that a big heart is a superpower, and we’re looking for an additional licensed Social Worker superhero! As an equal pillar to nurses and chaplains, we want someone who can hold space for others with grace, strength, and maybe a little humor on the side.

What You’ll Do

Walk alongside patients and families through some of life’s hardest but most meaningful moments.

Help families navigate the messy parts.. grief, fear, and paperwork.

  • Lead with compassion, advocate fiercely, and remind people that even in loss there’s still love and dignity.
  • Collaborate closely with nurses, chaplains, aides, doctors and volunteers in our interdisciplinary team (IDT), ensuring care is heart-centered.

Develop and Execute Patient-specific Care Plans

Offer resources, counseling, and that grounding presence people remember long after the goodbye.

What You Bring

  • A current Social Work License in the state of Georgia.
  • Hospice, medical, or mental health experience. (and if not hospice yet, a calling to it)
  • A steady heart that can hold both tears and laughter in the same breath.
  • Strong communication, organizational, and advocacy skills.

What Makes Spirit Hospice of Georgia Different

  • Competitive pay + mileage reimbursement
  • PTO & Benefits Package (Health, Vision, Dental, & 401k)
  • A supportive, real-deal team that always has your back

Locally Owned & Operated: Decisions are made here instead of a distant corporate office. We know our patients, and we know each other.

Employee-First Culture: We don’t just care about you, we care for you with manageable workloads, flexible schedules, and open door leadership.

No Red Tape, Just Real Support: You’ll work with a leadership team who knows your name and your story.

If you’re ready to bring your whole heart to hospice, we’d love to meet you.

Apply at Spirit, where your spirit makes the difference.
