Geriatric Social Worker – New York City

About the Opportunity

We're a close-knit geriatric care practice on a mission to make aging in New York City a lot more manageable for elders and their loved ones. We believe everyone deserves exceptional, thoughtful care and we are seeking a new team member who wants to join us in this meaningful mission. If you're a social worker who's passionate about working with older adults and wants to be part of our team, we'd love to meet you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

As a core member of our care team, you'll be a steady, trusted presence for clients and families during some of life's most meaningful – and sometimes most challenging – moments. Day to day, that looks like:

Conducting thoughtful psychosocial assessments and building care plans that are tailored to each client's unique situation and goals

Providing counseling and emotional support to clients and their families, including adult children who are working hard to manage care from miles away

Collaborating with physicians, home care agencies, and specialist providers across NYC to make sure every piece of the puzzle fits together

Guiding clients and families through transitions to rehabilitation, memory care, and assisted living with patience and care

Connecting families with elder law attorneys, financial advisors, and other trusted professionals when they need them most

Keeping families informed, supported, and reassured with clear and compassionate communication

Bringing your whole professional self to every interaction – with integrity, discretion, and warmth

Maintaining strict confidentiality and a high standard of professional conduct at all times

Strong knowledge of the NYC healthcare system, including hospital networks and community care resources

Experience working with a range of clients and families, with the ability to navigate complex family dynamics with professionalism and sensitivity

Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills

Ability to meet clients in person across the five boroughs and surrounding areas

Highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable working independently

WORK ARRANGEMENT
