Assistant Remote Landscaping Jobs in Kansas (NOW HIRING)

Alvita Counseling Center is seeking a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to join our esteemed hospice team on a full-time basis. This remote position is ideal for professionals who wish to make a real difference in the lives of patients facing terminal illnesses and their families, by providing essential emotional and social support during critical moments in their journeys.

Alvita Counseling Center prides itself on delivering comprehensive care tailored to the unique needs of our patients. Located in Overland Park, Kansas, our hospice center is committed to enhancing the quality of life for individuals facing serious health challenges. We employ evidence-based practices to ensure that our interventions are effective and compassionate, helping each patient achieve the highest level of comfort and dignity possible.

Our work setting is predominantly remote, allowing our social workers to provide care from the comfort of their own homes while remaining actively involved in the lives of our patients and their families. Despite the remote nature of this role, you will be part of a closely-knit interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including nurses, physicians, and other specialists who collaborate to create a holistic care environment focused on patient-centered outcomes.

• Conduct in-depth psychosocial assessments through patient and family interviews, observations, and a review of medical histories to identify emotional, social, and environmental factors affecting the recovery and comfort of patients.
• Deliver counseling services and provide support to patients and their families, assisting them in coping with end-of-life issues, adjustment to terminal diagnoses, and grief.
• Work closely with the rehabilitation team to formulate and implement individualized treatment plans that address the psychosocial needs of each patient.
• Facilitate access to community resources, including support groups, financial assistance, and palliative care services, ensuring patients and families receive additional support as needed.
• Offer education and resources to patients and their families regarding post-rehabilitation services, thereby empowering them to make informed decisions about their care and support options.
• Participate in discharge planning, ensuring safe transitions for patients moving to home care or other facilities are handled appropriately.

The patients you will support at our hospice center are predominantly individuals facing terminal illnesses, including but not limited to cancer, advanced heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. You will assist not only the patients but also their families, who are often navigating complex emotional landscapes filled with uncertainty, grief, and frustration.

• A Master's degree in Social Work from an accredited institution is required for this role.
• Active state licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) is mandatory.
• A strong understanding of crisis intervention, grief counseling, and family dynamics, particularly in the context of end-of-life care.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, as well as strong interpersonal skills to connect with patients and families effectively.

• Previous experience in a hospice, palliative care, or rehabilitation environment is preferred, as it equips candidates with the necessary understanding of the clinical challenges faced in these settings.
• Familiarity with community resources in Kansas that provide additional support for families dealing with terminal illnesses.
• Knowledge of contemporary therapeutic techniques and modalities applicable to end-of-life care.

As a favorable aspect for our employees, we offer a competitive salary ranging from $75,000 to $100,000 annually, commensurate with experience. In addition to a suitable salary, our benefits package includes:

• Comprehensive health insurance that covers employees and their families.

• Generous paid time off policy, including vacation days, sick leave, and holidays, to ensure a healthy work-life balance.
