Contracted
Adventist Health Lodi Memorial
Mid Level
Step into the role of a Medical Social Worker and become a vital anchor in the patient care continuum, guiding individuals and families through complex medical journeys with compassion, advocacy, and strategic resource coordination. In this role you will assess psychosocial needs, develop comprehensive discharge and post-acute plans, connect patients with community supports, and partner with care teams to ensure equity, dignity, and timely access to services. California offers a dynamic backdrop for professional growth and impact, from the pastoral calm of local neighborhoods to the bustling pace of metropolitan centers; in Lodi you can enjoy a close-knit community atmosphere, easy access to outdoor recreation, and a region known for hospitality, vineyards, and outstanding quality of life. The opportunity starts on 04/06/2026 for a flexible duration measured in Weeks, with weekly pay ranging from $2,023 to $2,140, and a structure where Guaranteed Hours stand at 0.0. Please note that final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
Location benefits extend beyond a single site. Lodi, nestled in California’s Central Valley wine corridor, delivers an approachable, affordable living environment with a strong sense of community, excellent healthcare networks, and opportunities to collaborate with hospitals, clinics, and social service agencies. When assigned to different locations across the U.S., you’ll gain exposure to diverse patient populations, care delivery models, and regulatory landscapes that broaden clinical judgment and cultural competence. You can enjoy the appeal of California’s natural beauty—river trails, parks, and sunlit days—while also leveraging the chance to experience new cities, landscapes, and communities through short-term placements. This mix of local impact and itinerant learning creates a rewarding balance between stability and exploration, allowing you to grow as a social work professional while enriching the lives of patients and families you serve.
In terms of role specifics and benefits, you’ll be empowered to impact care at every stage of the patient journey. Key responsibilities include conducting thorough psychosocial assessments, identifying barriers to care, coordinating with hospital teams and community resources, and developing individualized discharge plans that support safe transitions home or to alternative care settings. You will provide counseling and crisis intervention as indicated, assist with housing and transportation solutions, connect clients with financial resources and benefits programs, and advocate for equitable access to services. You’ll document assessments, plans, and outcomes with precision in electronic health records, participate in interdisciplinary rounds, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives that elevate patient experience and outcomes. The role also offers clear pathways for professional growth within the medical social work specialty, including opportunities for advanced certifications, mentorship roles, and leadership tracks as you demonstrate impact and proficiency.
The benefits package highlights competitive remuneration, with a guaranteed framework of flexibility and support. In addition to a weekly pay range of $2,023-$2,140, the position includes a enticing bonus structure, housing assistance to ease transition and living costs, and explicit extension opportunities to align with organizational needs and your personal career goals. Comprehensive support is available around the clock, with 24/7 assistance as you travel with the company, ensuring you always have access to guidance, clinical supervision, and logistical help no matter the assignment location. You’ll work within a team-based environment that prioritizes collaboration, evidence-based practice, and respectful engagement with patients and families. Equipment, training, and onboarding are streamlined to help you hit the ground running, while ongoing education stipends and professional development resources sustain your growth over time.
Our company is rooted in values that empower staff to advance their careers while maintaining a supportive, inclusive, and growth-oriented culture. We are committed to fostering an environment where social workers can expand their clinical skills, build resilience, and contribute to system-wide improvements that reduce barriers to care. You’ll find mentorship, constructive feedback loops, recognition of excellence, and ample opportunities to contribute ideas and lead initiatives. The emphasis is on sustainable career trajectories, work-life balance, and a nurturing community that respects who you are as a professional and as a person.
