Job Description

Salary:

Founded in 1982 as Joliet Area Community Hospice, Lightways Hospice and Serious Illness Care is an independent, nonprofit healthcare provider licensed in 11 counties in northwest Illinois. We provide exceptional serious illness care, hospice care and grief support for adults and children.

The majority of our direct patient care is in the field with Lightways team members providing care in the home, nursing facility or assisted living facility. We also have a 20-bed inpatient unit in Joliet. Non-clinical staff are based out of our Joliet administrative offices.

This full time position works in our inpatient unit focusing on our patients and families psychosocial needs. The position works Mon-Fri typically during the hours of 8-4:30 with flexibility to meet with patients and families evenings and weekends as needed. This position also works approximately 20 hours per month on call to assist in supporting our Field patients.

 

The Social Worker assesses the psychosocial status of patients and families/caregivers related to the patient's terminal illness and environment and communicates findings to the registered nurse and other members of the interdisciplinary group. Also develops and facilitates relationships with referral sources and provides information to patients and families/caregivers as appropriate. 

Position requires a licensed Social Worker with Masters degree required and a minimum of one year experience in either a hospital setting, home health or nursing home/long term care. Hospice experience preferred.

Lightways offers a generous benefit package that includes medical, dental, disability, life insurance, 401k with company match, paid holidays, and a generous PTO plan for full time positions.
