Social Worker (LBSW/LMSW)

When every moment counts.

When the burden of care becomes too great for a family to manage, we are the team of community-based experts in hospice (end-of-life) care who work with a spirit of unselfish dedication. Nurturing a relationship based on trust and ethics, our team extends beyond the traditional hospice services and needs-addressing patient’s physical, social, psychological and spiritual needs on a deeper level-while recognizing other needs that can also be met. And, as a not-for-profit which is directed and managed locally, our foundation allows us to care for patients who may not otherwise have the wherewithal. Regardless of the situation, we are there to care – with compassion- when every moment counts.

We are looking for a Licensed Social Worker (LBSW or LMSW) to service the Horry County area. The position is part-time (PRN), and the hours will vary based on census. Hours are not guaranteed, but will typically be 8-10 hours per week, Monday - Friday, 8am - 430pm.
