Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Remote Opportunity

Remo Health is hiring a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. This is a full time remote opportunity.

About Remo

Remo is building the new standard of dementia care. Our care model empowers individuals living with dementia to age in place, surrounded by those they love. We offer support to caregivers through our active community of fellow caregivers, expert resources, and helpful tools to navigate the journey. With Remo, individuals living with dementia  and caregivers get the support they deserve and team members get the job satisfaction they crave. 

About the Role

Our LCSW will report directly to our Medical Director and play an integral role in the interdisciplinary care team. Remo LCSWs have deep empathy for families faced with dementia and the unique challenges that they face.

Our LCSWs will 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).

Additionally,  Remo understands 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. To support this need,  LCSWs will also offer psychotherapy services for those living with dementia and their caregivers. 

What you’ll do 

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

• Support individuals living with dementia and their caregivers 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, financial needs, etc.). We see the social worker as the linchpin between Remo and local community-based organizations 

• Liaise w/ 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 and Lead Neurologist 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

What we're looking for:

• 5+ yrs experience particularly within geriatrics, internal medicine, palliative care, or dementia-related care

• LCSW

• Personally motivated by our mission and dementia care innovation

• Invested in building relationships with community based organizations

• Excel at active listening

•  Naturally empathetic and talented at building trusting relationships

•  Willing to roll-up your sleeves, take ownership, multitask and dive into details

• Have experience with advanced care planning and advanced directives 

• Passionate about educating families and other clinical providers 

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

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to navigate challenges with creativity and flexibility

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

• Experience navigating EHRs and encounter notes

• Comfortable adopting new technologies and learning new systems

• Comfortable with ambiguity

• Lack ego and are driven by team outcome, not the individual outcome

• 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+ yrs experience in digital health startup

• Fluent in Spanish

How this is different from other clinical jobs

• This job is 100% remote, providing schedule flexibility

• This is a salaried position with generous vacation, parental leave, and benefits

• 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
