Job Description

We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated Medical Social Worker (LMSW) to join our clinical team. In this role, you will provide essential coordinated care and psychosocial support to patients of all ages within their home environments.

If you are a resourceful professional committed to guiding families through grief, loss, and end-of-life care, we want to hear from you.

For nearly 100 years, the  Visiting Nurse Association of Texas (VNA)has been a trusted pioneer in hospice care, helping our neighbors age with dignity and independence. Our mission-driven work spans 16 counties across North Texas—including Collin, Dallas, Denton, Kaufman, and Tarrant to rural communities in Fannin and Navarro—ensuring no one faces life's transitions alone. As a non-profit, we prioritize people over profits, treating every patient like family and maintaining a gold standard of clinical excellence. Beyond hospice, our community roots run deep through programs like Meals on Wheels. We are looking for a Chaplain who thrives in a collaborative, IDT environment and is ready to carry forward our legacy of compassionate, high-quality spiritual care.

Joining our team means more than a competitive salary and mileage reimbursement. We offer comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans, along with employer-paid life and short and long-term disability insurance. To support your future, we offer a 401(k) with a 6% match and a fast, two-year vesting schedule. We also prioritize work-life harmony through generous PTO, eight total paid holidays, and opportunities for professional growth and tuition reimbursement—all within a supportive, mission-driven culture.

Core Responsibilities

  • Comprehensive Assessment : Identify psychosocial, financial, and environmental needs for hospice patients to guide the Plan of Care (POC).
  • Clinical Counseling : Provide direct counseling to patients and families, specifically focusing on advanced care planning and grief/loss. 
  • Interdisciplinary Collaboration : Attend team meetings and collaborate with the Interdisciplinary Team to ensure seamless care coordination. 
  • Community Advocacy : Maintain an expert working knowledge of community resources and public/private eligibility standards to assist patients with resource acquisition. 
  • Clinical Documentation : Maintain accurate clinical records and team meeting minutes.

Requirements & Qualifications

  • Education : Master’s Degree in Social Work (MSW) from a state-accredited program
  • Licensure : Current Texas Certification (LMSW)
  • Experience : At least one (1) year of social work experience in a health care agency.
  • Skills : Strong interpersonal skills and a deep understanding of community resources.
  • Compliance : Must pass criminal background checks and provide proof of TB testing and a Hepatitis profile/acceptance.
  • Transportation : A valid Texas Driver’s License, reliable transportation, and valid auto liability insurance for local travel to patient homes.

Working Conditions

This position involves traveling locally to visit patients in their homes. You should be comfortable working in various conditions, including occasional exposure to infectious diseases and unpleasant weather. The role requires prolonged standing, walking, and the ability to make quick decisions under stressful conditions to meet patient needs.

The Visiting Nurse Association of Texas is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, or any other status protected by federal, state, or local law.
