Social Worker II

At the Glenrose Social Work Department we actively contribute to a respectful and inclusive workplace. Working as part of an interdisciplinary team, the Social Worker II facilitates the psychosocial adjustment of clients/patients/families to the results of accident/injury, medical conditions, or developmental diagnoses. Duties involve providing patient and family centered care including consent, assessment, intervention, follow-up, documentation, education, advocacy, resourcing, consultation, crisis management, and discharge or transition planning within assigned programs/units/clinics. The Social Worker II participates in non-client care activities including program planning, resource development, student supervision, evaluation, quality improvement, research, and staff development. Responsibilities include participation in activities and initiatives aimed at promoting, maintaining, and improving quality of care and safety for patients, families, and caregivers.
