This role provides a unique opportunity for a compassionate and skilled professional to work collaboratively with an interdisciplinary team committed to improving patient outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with chronic illnesses.

At Back on Track Counseling & Consulting, we prioritize creating a nurturing environment where patients are empowered to engage in their care and recovery. Our organization specializes in delivering holistic mental health care, emphasizing evidence-based practices that resonate with diverse populations. We are dedicated to fostering cultural competence among our staff, ensuring that every patient receives individualized attention tailored to their unique needs and backgrounds.

This position is 100% remote, allowing for flexibility while maintaining a strong focus on delivering quality care to our patients. As part of our virtual team, you will have the tools and support necessary to conduct your work effectively in a Hospice Center environment. Regular communication with colleagues, patients, and families is essential, aided by a state-of-the-art electronic health record (EHR) system that facilitates documentation and interdisciplinary collaboration.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Conducting comprehensive psychosocial assessments to identify patients’ needs, strengths, and challenges, including the evaluation of their emotional and mental health in the context of their chronic illnesses.

• Collaborating with patients and an interdisciplinary healthcare team to develop and implement personalized care plans aimed at behavior modification, lifestyle changes, and the promotion of mental well-being.
• Engaging in regular outreach to patients based on their preferences and needs, facilitating consistent communication and encouraging treatment adherence to enhance overall health outcomes.
• Maintaining accurate and timely documentation of patient interactions, progress notes, and care plans within the electronic health record (EHR) system to ensure continuity of care and data accuracy.

You will work primarily with patients in hospice care, focusing on individuals facing terminal illnesses and their families. This population often requires specialized mental health support as they navigate complex emotional landscapes related to grief, loss, and chronic health challenges. Your expertise will be vital in helping these patients and their families cope with their circumstances, ultimately aiming to enhance their quality of life during sensitive times.

• Strong understanding of evidence-based therapeutic modalities and treatment approaches tailored to diverse populations.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, coupled with strong assessment and counseling abilities.

While the core qualifications outlined are essential, we also value candidates with additional experience in:

• Working specifically within hospice or palliative care settings.
• Facilitating family counseling sessions to address complex dynamics surrounding end-of-life issues.
• Implementing integrative approaches that combine mental health with physical health to support holistic patient care.
