Ready to make a difference? Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together.

As a Health Services Clinical Coordinator Social Worker, you'll wear many hats, and work in a variety of environments. Sometimes, you'll interact with members leaving the hospital - possibly with new medications or diagnoses.

Or perhaps you'll perform home visits, assisting members with safe, effective transitions from care environments to where they live.

You may also act as an intermediary between providers and members - serving in numerous roles, such as educator, evaluator, service coordinator, community resource researcher and more.

The result? Fewer hospitalizations, ER visits and costly service gaps; and a less stressed, more effective health care system for us all.

Want more flexibility, want more autonomy? Work from your own home and coordinate a visiting schedule that is mutually beneficial to you and the members we serve.
