• Create and implement individualized plans of care based on clients’ goals and wishes.
• Provide individual grief support and counseling, crisis intervention, and short‑term therapeutic support.
• Serve as a clinical resource and consultant for social workers and bereavement staff.
• Co‑facilitate grief support groups, workshops, and community programs throughout the year.
• Assist the bereavement team in providing community education on grief, loss, coping, and healing.
• Maintain accurate, timely documentation per organizational and regulatory standards.
• Conduct follow‑up outreach and reassessments to evaluate progress and adjust care plans.

• Master’s degree in social work (from a school of social work accredited by the Council of Social Work Education); LCSW or licensure eligible preferred.
• Experience in hospice, palliative care, grief counseling, or mental health.
• Strong clinical judgment and the ability to hold space for clients experiencing grief.
• Exceptional communication, empathy, professionalism, and emotional resilience.
• A heart for mission‑driven, relational work with individuals and families.

Schedule: Flexible hours around a core schedule (Monday‑Friday approx. 8:30 AM–5:00 PM).

Pay: Starting at $67,000 / year (commensurate with licensure and experience).

Benefits: 21 days of PTO in your first year, $.60 per mile mileage reimbursement, company‑paid life insurance and long‑term disability insurance, medical through an ICHRA model offering multiple plan choices, and 401(k) with company match (100 % match on the first 3 %, 50 % match on the next 1 %).
