Job Description
Step into a purpose-driven Travel Social Worker role in Medical Social Work, anchored in Cumming, Georgia, with a start date of 02/16/2026. This compelling assignment invites you to blend clinical expertise with compassionate advocacy, guiding patients and families through complex health journeys, coordinating discharge plans, linking them to essential services, and empowering them to navigate the road to recovery with dignity. In Georgia, you’ll feel the warmth of a community that values care, collaboration, and the chance to make a tangible difference each day. And beyond work, you’ll have the opportunity to discover the state’s diverse beauty—from the lush foothills near the Blue Ridge to the serene waters around Lake Lanier, the historic charm of Savannah, and iconic sites like Stone Mountain. Georgia’s landscapes, culture, and friendly spirit provide the perfect backdrop for a career that embraces both excellence and exploration.
In Cumming you’ll enjoy convenient access to modern hospitals and community clinics, supportive interdisciplinary teams, and a network that understands the unique needs of medical social work. The area blends suburban comfort with easy access to the bustle of Atlanta, offering dining, culture, outdoor recreation, and family-friendly amenities after your shifts. For those drawn to broader horizons, this assignment also opens the door to opportunities to work in various locations across the U.S., allowing you to broaden your professional perspective, gain experience with diverse populations, and build a resilient, transportable skill set that enhances your long-term career trajectory.
As a Medical Social Worker on this travel assignment, you’ll assess psychosocial needs, identify barriers to care, and develop actionable care plans that align with medical teams and patient goals. You’ll facilitate timely discharges, coordinate community resources, initiate crisis intervention when needed, and provide counseling to patients and families facing acute illness, chronic conditions, or end-of-life considerations. You’ll document thoroughly, advocate for patient rights, and collaborate with nurses, physicians, social work peers, case managers, and external agency partners. You’ll have opportunities for professional growth through exposure to varied clinical settings, complex cases, and leadership experiences as you mentor junior staff or lead care coordination initiatives. In addition to meaningful clinical work, you’ll receive competitive compensation, including a base pay within the stated range, plus a bonus program designed to recognize excellence, a housing assistance option to ease temporary relocation, and potential extension opportunities once initial terms conclude. The role includes guaranteed hours—40.0 per week—so you can plan with confidence. And because travel can be demanding, you’ll have 24/7 support from a dedicated travel team, ensuring you have resources, guidance, and backup whenever you need it as you move between assignments and facilities.
Our partner organizations are built on empowering staff, fostering clinical expertise, and nurturing a supportive work environment where your growth is prioritized. You’ll be encouraged to pursue ongoing training, certification, and career advancement opportunities, with mentorship, peer collaboration, and accessible leadership guiding your path.
