Job Description
Step into a meaningful role as a Medical Social Worker in the heart of New York, Penn Yan, where your expertise will guide patients and families through challenging moments with compassion and practical resources. This is more than a job; it is a chance to shape care journeys across cultures, communities, and generations. Imagine the beauty around you—a region where the Finger Lakes glisten in the sun, vineyards roll across gentle hills, and waterfronts invite reflection and connection. You’ll be part of a community that values human dignity as much as clinical outcomes, in a setting that blends small-town warmth with access to urban opportunities whenever you need them. Start date 01/05/2026, with a project duration measured in weeks, and a weekly pay range designed to recognize your dedication: $1,906-$2,014. Guaranteed Hours: 0.0. The assignment includes potential extension opportunities, and the flexibility to align shifts with your life and professional development goals. This is your entry point to growing expertise in medical social work while making tangible differences in patients’ trajectories.
Location benefits: Penn Yan sits on the edge of the Finger Lakes, offering scenic serenity, outdoor recreation, and a thriving regional community. In this role, you’ll enjoy meaningful patient interactions, interdisciplinary teamwork, and access to resources that support families during medical transitions. For clinicians who crave variety, there are opportunities to work in other locations across the United States, expanding your experience with diverse populations, hospital systems, and care models. Travel-ready environments, flexible scheduling, and a supportive network mean you can broaden your professional horizons without sacrificing stability. The organization provides housing assistance and a framework that makes adjustment smoother, so you can focus on what you do best—advancing patient-centered care while growing as a clinician and advocate.
Role specifics and benefits: As a Medical Social Worker, you will conduct psychosocial assessments, identify barriers to care, coordinate discharge planning, arrange community resources, and facilitate family meetings. You’ll partner with physicians, nurses, case managers, and community agencies to create comprehensive care plans that honor patient preferences, cultural considerations, and financial realities. You’ll document in electronic medical records, maintain compliance with privacy laws, and advocate for equitable access to services. In this role, you’ll build expertise in palliative and rehabilitative pathways, trauma-informed care, and ethical decision-making, with clear opportunities for leadership and specialization as you demonstrate impact. Benefits include a competitive compensation package, a sign-on style bonus, housing support, and the potential for contract extensions. Our program emphasizes 24/7 support while you’re traveling with the company, ensuring you have real-time assistance, guidance, and resources no matter where you are. You’ll receive ongoing professional development, mentorship from seasoned social workers, and structured opportunities to advance within the organization and across locations. We’re committed to your growth through continuing education stipends, access to evidence-based practices, and a culture of peer learning that respects your expertise and ambitions.
Company values: We are dedicated to empowering staff, recognizing your contributions, and investing in your career path. Our culture centers on collaboration, integrity, and a compassionate approach to care that extends beyond the bedside. You’ll join a team that celebrates curiosity, supports your well-being, and helps you translate clinical knowledge into compassionate, culturally competent service. From day one, you’ll have access to supportive leadership, structured onboarding, and a network of colleagues who share your commitment to improving patient outcomes and strengthening families’ resilience.
