Mid Level
Begin your mission as a Medical Social Worker in New York’s Penn Yan, where every patient encounter is an opportunity to transform care, strengthen families, and advance health equity. Starting 04/06/2026, you’ll join a purposeful clinical team that values empathy, evidence, and collaborative problem‑solving. This role places you at the intersection of medicine and social justice, empowering you to address barriers to care, connect patients with essential resources, and advocate for outcomes that promote dignity and independence. As you serve in this charming upstate community, you’ll also have the chance to broaden your horizons within a network that supports dynamic assignments across the United States, opening doors to diverse settings, patient populations, and interprofessional learning experiences. Beyond the immediate impact, you’ll discover the serenity and beauty of upstate New York—the Finger Lakes region with its pristine lakes and vineyards, seasonal festivities, outdoor recreation, and a pace that invites thoughtful reflection and sustainable practice. The state’s rolling landscapes and Penn Yan’s small‑town warmth provide a backdrop where professional fulfillment harmonizes with balanced living and lasting connections.

Location benefits go beyond the clinic walls. Penn Yan offers a tight‑knit community that cherishes neighborhood collaboration, patient‑centered care, and a rhythm that supports thoughtful care planning. The Finger Lakes region invites exploration during downtime—gondola of sunsets over Keuka Lake, seasonal harvests, and vibrant local culture—creating an environment where resilience and well‑being are nourished. For clinicians who crave variety, the opportunity to work across multiple locations in the U.S. means you’ll experience a spectrum of care delivery models, patient demographics, and community services, all while maintaining the stability of a trusted support network. Whether you’re partnering with hospital teams, clinics, or long‑term care facilities, you’ll gain exposure to innovative social work practice, expanded resource networks, and opportunities to refine your clinical voice within a wide range of care contexts.

Role specifics and benefits begin with impact: you will conduct comprehensive psychosocial assessments for patients and families facing acute or chronic illness, facilitate thorough discharge planning, and coordinate with physicians, nurses, case managers, and community agencies to secure housing, transportation, financial assistance, and supportive services. You’ll navigate crisis intervention when needed, identify social determinants that affect health outcomes, and develop individualized care plans that align with patient goals, cultural preferences, and family dynamics. Your responsibilities include documenting with accuracy and timeliness, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, communicating treatment plans during rounds, and advocating for patient rights and access to services. Through ongoing consultation with multidisciplinary teams, you’ll monitor progress, adjust interventions, and track outcomes to demonstrate measurable improvements in adherence, safety, and quality of life. You’ll have room to grow professionally as you deepen expertise in medical psychosocial care, palliative support, and transitions of care, while building leadership competencies in supervision, case consultation, and program development.

Compelling benefits accompany the role. The compensation reflects a competitive weekly pay range of 1,888 to 1,941, with the potential for performance bonuses, housing assistance, and the flexibility of extension opportunities that align with your schedule and career objectives. The program emphasizes robust support structures: 24/7 assistance from a dedicated support team while you travel between assignments, a safety net that complements clinical autonomy with practical resources, and a comprehensive onboarding experience designed to integrate you smoothly into fast‑paced environments. We recognize the emotional and professional demands of medical social work and provide access to clinical supervision resources, peer mentorship, and educational opportunities to advance your expertise and credentials. Housing assistance reduces logistical barriers, enabling you to focus on delivering high‑quality, person‑centered care. Extension opportunities allow you to continue shaping patient journeys and expanding your impact in settings that reflect your professional interests, whether you wish to specialize further or broaden your scope to new care settings.

Company values guide every facet of this opportunity. We are committed to empowering social work professionals by cultivating a supportive, inclusive, and growth‑driven culture. Our approach centers on continuous learning, transparent feedback, and clear pathways to advancement, ensuring you can evolve from clinician to leader while maintaining the hands‑on care you’re passionate about.
