This assignment is crafted for professionals who blend clinical insight with compassionate advocacy, guiding patients and families through complex care decisions, psychosocial assessment, safety planning, and seamless discharge coordination. Picture the impact you can make while immersed in one of California’s most breathtaking settings—the crystal-clear alpine lakes, sweeping granite peaks, and expansive trails that define Mammoth Lakes. The start date is January 26, 2026, and the engagement spans multiple weeks with a guaranteed minimum of 30 hours per week, paired with a competitive weekly pay ranging from $2,203 to $2,282. This is more than a job; it’s a purposeful path to deepen your specialty while contributing to meaningful, tangible outcomes for patients and their families. As you grow, there will be opportunities to extend the assignment and broaden your professional horizons within the medical social work field.
Location benefits are a core part of this opportunity. Mammoth Lakes offers a living landscape where outdoor recreation and professional achievement coexist harmoniously—think hiking through alpine meadows, winter slopes, and tranquil lakes after demanding days at work. Working in this location means you’ll experience a community known for its warmth, safety, and supportive networks that nurture resilience. The role also provides flexibility to work in various locations across the United States, enabling exposure to diverse health systems, patient populations, and interdisciplinary team dynamics. This breadth builds adaptability, cultural competence, and a richer clinical perspective while granting you the chance to savor different regional flavors, climates, and communities. In Mammoth, you can enjoy the unique blend of mountain-town charm, seasonal festivals, fresh-air balance, and meaningful professional purpose. To ease transitions, housing assistance is available as part of the package, and the assignment offers potential for extension, enabling continuity of care and sustained professional growth.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to empower your practice and advance your career. As a Medical Social Worker, you will conduct comprehensive psychosocial assessments, facilitate discharge planning, and coordinate interdisciplinary care to optimize patient outcomes. You will partner with patients, families, and health care teams to identify barriers to care, link individuals with community resources, and advocate for services that support medical stability, emotional well-being, and social determinants of health. Your responsibilities include crisis intervention when needed, safeguarding patient rights, documenting thoroughly, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. The position offers robust opportunities for professional development within medical social work, including mentorship, access to continuing education, and pathways to leadership roles as you demonstrate impact across cases and settings. Enjoy competitive benefits that reflect your expertise, including a sign-on bonus where applicable, housing assistance to ease relocation, and the chance to extend your contract to deepen your experience and build sustained relationships with patients and teams. You will be supported by a 24/7 help desk and dedicated field leadership, ensuring you have reliable, around-the-clock assistance as you travel and serve communities.
Company values frame every aspect of this opportunity. Our organization is committed to empowering staff, recognizing that ongoing education, mentorship, and collaborative work environments propel careers forward.
