Job Description
Step into a pivotal role as a Medical Social Worker in Simi Valley, California, where your expertise will guide patients and families through the medical journey with compassion, advocacy, and insight. In this role you will conduct thorough psychosocial assessments, coordinate comprehensive discharge planning, connect patients with essential community resources, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to tailor care plans that honor preferences and promote dignity. You’ll advocate for vulnerable individuals facing complex illness trajectories, address social determinants of health, and provide crisis intervention and counseling when needed. Your impact will be measured not only by clinical outcomes but by the confidence you help restore in patients and families navigating transitions. This opportunity blends professional impact with the natural beauty and vibrant communities of California—an inspiring backdrop that invites exploration after a meaningful day of service. From the rolling hills of the Valley to nearby coastal escapes, California’s diverse landscapes enrich your daily work and fuel ongoing learning in a specialty that values resilience, empathy, and evidence-based practice. You’ll join a team that recognizes that great social work is the bridge between clinical care and holistic well-being, and you’ll be positioned to grow as a leader in patient advocacy and care coordination.
Location benefits: Simi Valley offers a balanced environment where you can immerse yourself in a tight-knit community while enjoying access to broader California opportunities. Work-life balance is supported by thoughtful scheduling and a culture that prioritizes patient-centered care. The role also opens doors to locations across the U.S., so you can broaden your professional horizon through occasional assignments that expose you to diverse patient populations, health systems, and community resources. Whether you’re drawn to coastal settings, inland regions, or urban centers, you’ll experience experiences unique to each locale—from neighborhood partnerships and robust social services networks to culturally rich communities that enhance your practice. Our programs provide flexibility for you to apply your skills in various contexts, all while maintaining a strong foundation in ethical practice, compliance, and evidence-informed intervention. The ability to work across settings strengthens your résumé, deepens your clinical judgment, and expands your professional network.
Role specifics and benefits: As a Medical Social Worker, you’ll perform comprehensive psychosocial assessments, identify risk factors, and develop individualized care plans that align with medical goals, patient preferences, and family dynamics. You’ll coordinate with nurses, physicians, case managers, and community partners to arrange post-acute care, home health services, and community supports that sustain recovery and independence. You’ll document findings precisely to support reimbursement, quality improvement, and continuity of care, while maintaining cultural humility and trauma-informed approaches. Professional growth is central here: you’ll have opportunities to pursue specialty certifications, participate in case conferences, and take on greater responsibility in mentoring newer staff. Competitive benefits include a sign-on or assignment bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs, and potential for contract extensions based on performance and agency needs. We offer extensive support for your travel and placement, including housing stipends or preferred arrangements, as well as opportunities to extend the assignment to suit your career goals. You’ll never be alone on assignment—our 24/7 support team is available, along with dedicated on-site and remote resources, ensuring you have assistance whenever you need it as you travel with the company. All clinical activities remain compliant with licensure requirements and organizational standards, with a strong emphasis on ethical practice, patient safety, and respect for patient autonomy.

We’re committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, recognizing the strength that varied backgrounds and perspectives bring to patient care and team dynamics.
