LCSW - Ohio Based

Remo Medical Group, P.A., the affiliated medical practice of Remo Health ("Remo"), is hiring a full-time Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

This is a remote opportunity however, you must live in Ohio.

About Remo

Remo is building a new standard of dementia care by fundamentally changing the care journey for individuals living with dementia and their caregivers (the dyad). As a virtual dementia care provider, our expert clinical team designs personalized, comprehensive care to serve people with dementia and caregiver needs (instead of a one-size-fits-all approach). We empower family caregivers by connecting them with a vibrant community of other caregivers, expert content, and tools to manage the entire dementia journey – from anywhere, at any time. Our mission is simple – to provide accessible, comprehensive, quality dementia care for every person who needs it.

About the Role

You will report directly to our Medical Director and play an integral role in the interdisciplinary care team.  Your deep empathy for families faced with dementia and the unique challenges that they face will enable you to assist families with engaging in advanced care planning, navigating benefit eligibility, and finding available community-based resources (such as options for food, housing, and transportation).

You will also offer psychotherapy services for those living with dementia and their caregivers, because we understand the importance of creating a space for caregivers and those living with dementia to work through the difficult feelings that arise due to the diagnosis of a serious complex illness.  

What You’ll Be Doing

• Provide compassionate and empathetic support, motivational interviewing, and education for dyads with the full support of an interdisciplinary team.

• Support dyads by assisting with, and documenting, advanced care planning, helping them navigate options for caregiving support at home and in facilities, and conservatorship.

• Help dyads access relevant support based on a needs assessment of the social determinants of health (e.g., insurance, safety, social, and financial needs, etc.). We see the LCSW as the linchpin between Remo and local community-based organizations. 

• Liaise with/ in-home partners (respite, safety eval partner) external to Remo on behalf of dyads when a need arises.

• Work closely with Care Navigators and RNs to help navigate transitions of care (e.g., hospital discharge, skilled rehab stays, selecting a memory care facility, etc.)

• Collaborate with the Chief Medical Officer to contribute to regular educational conferences for clinical providers.

• Collaborate with the entire care team to deliver on our KPIs — e.g. quality targets, utilization metrics, patient/provider satisfaction, etc.

• Participate in daily care team huddles and weekly care team conferences to discuss high-risk patients.

• Support dyads and internal teammates through patient transitions of care, discharge planning, LTN placement, hospice placement, and death.

You May Be a Good Fit If You

• Have 5+ years of experience with geriatrics, internal medicine, palliative care, or dementia-related care.

• Are licensed as a LCSW in the state of Ohio.

• Are personally motivated by our mission and dementia care innovation.

• Are invested in building relationships with community-based organizations.

• Excel at active listening.

• Are naturally empathetic and talented at building trusting relationships.

• Are willing to roll up your sleeves, take ownership, and dive into details.

• Have experience with advanced care planning and advanced directives. 

• Are passionate about educating families and other clinical providers. 

• Think systematically, breaking down complicated problems into manageable initiatives.

• Have strong problem-solving skills and the ability to navigate challenges with creativity and flexibility.

• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document progress notes and maintain accurate clinical records.

• Are experienced in navigating EHRs and encountering notes.

• Are comfortable adopting new technologies and learning new systems.

• Are comfortable with ambiguity.

• Lack ego and are driven by team outcomes, not individual outcomes.

• Thrive in interdisciplinary teams (e.g. asking for help, collaborative problem solving, and mutual respect for all team members).

You’re The Ideal Candidate If You

• Have 2+ years of experience in a digital health startup.

• Are fluent in Spanish.

How This Is Different From Other Clinical Jobs

• This job is 100% remote in OH, providing schedule flexibility.

• You will have a strong voice in how we do things. Unlike the typical experience of feeling like a peg in a machine, you have agency at Remo. If the EMR could be improved, we want to know. If you think a particular type of patient needs a service we are not yet providing, we want to know. Our goal is to continuously improve care delivery and you will be involved closely in that process.
