Job Description

You carry people through the hardest chapter of their lives, and you're good at it. If you're a social worker who wants your caseload to mean something, Bella Home Health / Hospice is where that work happens.

We're hiring a Social Worker to join our interdisciplinary hospice team. This is a full-scope clinical role: psychosocial assessments, counseling, community resource coordination, and direct leadership of our Bereavement and Volunteer programs. If you want a position where you can build something, not just fill a seat, keep reading.

What You'll Do

You'll be the emotional and logistical anchor for patients and families navigating end-of-life care. That means conducting psychosocial assessments, providing short-term counseling, and serving as the link between patients, families, physicians, hospitals, and community organizations. You'll make home visits, participate in on-call rotation, and keep documentation accurate - because good paperwork protects patients and supports everyone on the care team.

You'll also own two programs that carry real weight: Bereavement and Volunteer Coordination. These aren't add-ons to the role. They're a meaningful part of it.

Beyond direct care and program management, you'll stay current on Medicare/Medicaid standards, maintain community resource relationships, and participate actively in interdisciplinary team meetings and continuing education.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an MSW from a CSWE-accredited school, or a BSW with supervision by a qualified MSW per CMS hospice conditions of participation.

You'll need at least one year of social work experience, a current state social work license, CPR certification, and a valid driver's license with reliable transportation and current auto liability insurance.

Hospice, home health, or palliative care experience is strongly preferred, and any background in bereavement or volunteer coordination makes you stand out.

More than credentials, we're looking for someone who is steady. This work is emotionally demanding. The right person leads with clarity and compassion, manages a caseload and two programs without dropping the ball, communicates well in writing and in person, and shows up consistently for patients and families.

You know how to navigate community resources and follow through. You're a genuine team player in an interdisciplinary setting, and you don't cut corners on Medicare/Medicaid documentation.

Why Bella

Bella Home Health / Hospice is built around one idea: people with life-limiting illness deserve quality, patient-centered care that keeps them comfortable - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Our social workers are central to the care team. You'll have real scope, a team that respects your clinical judgment, and patients and families who will remember you.

We offer meaningful work, a supportive interdisciplinary environment, and continuing education and professional development opportunities.

  • Your territory can be close to the area you live, and our office is in Mesquite, TX.
  • We look forward to hearing from you if this sounds like a good fit!
