Hospice Medical Social Worker (LMSW/LCSW Required) Talent Pool

Saginaw, MI

About the Role

Provide compassionate, clinical psychosocial care that helps patients and families navigate the emotional, social, and practical challenges of end‑of‑life illness. As a Hospice Medical Social Worker, you’ll support individuals facing terminal diagnoses by offering counseling, guidance, and resources that promote dignity, clarity, and emotional well‑being during one of life’s most difficult transitions.

This role is ideal for a licensed clinical social worker who is passionate about practicing the full scope of hospice social work in a deeply meaningful setting. You’ll complete comprehensive psychosocial assessments, provide crisis intervention and counseling, and support advance care planning conversations that help families make informed, values‑based decisions. Working as a key member of the interdisciplinary team, you’ll collaborate closely with nurses, physicians, and other hospice professionals to ensure emotional, cultural, and practical needs are fully integrated into each patient’s plan of care.

Your work will directly support both patients and families while also strengthening the care experience across the entire hospice journey.
