Description
UltaCare Medical has an immediate full-time opening for clinical social worker to provide psychotherapy (talk therapy) onsite to residents of a nursing home located in Hillsboro, IL. This is not a remote role. Our clinical social workers provide in person therapy onsite in the nursing home and are exclusively designated for one location.
Anxiety, depression, dementia, grief and loss and a variety of other mental health conditions are prominent challenges in nursing home populations and these residents deserve a professional clinician that can help them deal with these challenges. As an LCSW with UltaCare Medical, you’ll have the opportunity to use your skills and expertise to make a meaningful difference in the lives of these residents. Our LCSW’s often voice great professional satisfaction and can recite countless experiences where they dramatically helped others. This is often why LCSW’s do what they do and we have structured this position to fully embrace the ability to help others.
Schedules are flexible and LCSW will work independently and remotely inside of post-acute and long-term care nursing facilities. This means that you can generally choose when you come to work and when you leave, provided that you work the number of hours that we agreed upon. Additionally, there is nobody “looking over your shoulder”. We require collaboration with nursing home staff, but ultimately you make your own schedule and have autonomy do to what you are educated and trained to do. We are also open to LCSW's that prefer to work as independent contractors.
Many of our positions serve rural communities. These communities rely upon people helping others and tend to be tight-knit. We play a vital role in these communities by improving healthcare to those that may otherwise have difficult accessing it. Our group was founded in 2006 and has always followed a guiding mission of keeping a small company feel while helping as many people as possible.
Company offers reimbursement program to cover individuals that incurred cost of supervisory hours to attain clinical social worker certification. We also have a tuition reimbursement program to defray student loan costs if you have them.
