Geriatric Social Worker

Geriatric Social Worker – Independent Contractor
📍 New York, NY (Hybrid – In-Person & Remote) | Contract (1099)
💼 LMSW, LCSW | Competitive rate

Hey, we're glad you're here.
We're a close-knit geriatric care practice on a mission to make aging in New York City a little easier, a little safer, and a lot more supported. We believe older adults deserve exceptional, thoughtful care – and that the people who provide that care deserve to love what they do.
If you're passionate about working with older adults and want to be part of a team that genuinely has each other's backs, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Be Doing
As a core member of our care team, you'll be a steady, trusted presence for clients and families during some of life's most meaningful – and sometimes most challenging – moments. Day to day, that looks like:

Conducting psychosocial assessments and building care plans tailored to each client's unique situation
Providing counseling and emotional support to clients and families, including adult children managing care from afar
Collaborating with physicians, home care agencies, and specialists across NYC
Guiding clients through transitions to rehab, memory care, and assisted living facilities
Connecting families with elder law attorneys, financial advisors, and other trusted professionals
Keeping families informed and reassured with clear, compassionate communication
Showing up with integrity, discretion, and warmth in every interaction

What We're Looking For

Active LMSW, LCSW, or higher licensure in New York State (required)
3–5 years of experience in geriatric social work
Strong knowledge of the NYC healthcare system, including hospital networks and community resources
Experience navigating complex family dynamics with professionalism and sensitivity
Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills
Ability to meet clients in person across the five boroughs and surrounding areas
Highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable working independently

How the Work Works
This is a contract (1099) position. Client sessions and assessments are conducted in person at private residences, medical offices, and care facilities. Administrative work and care coordination can be done remotely on a flexible schedule.
As an independent contractor, you'll be responsible for your own taxes and benefits.

What's In It For You

Competitive rate based on experience
Flexible scheduling with a manageable caseload
A chance to work within a well-connected professional network across NYC's healthcare and wellness community

To Apply
Submit your resume and a brief cover letter through Handshake or email us at info@carecollectivehealth.org. Please include a copy of your current NY state license.
We can't wait to hear from clinicians who are passionate about delivering exceptional care to older adults and their families. 💙
