About this role
Mission Healthcare, the largest home health and hospice provider in the western U.S., is seeking an MSW to join their Carson City team on a per diem basis. You'd assess patients' psychosocial needs, facilitate advance care planning conversations, and coordinate with physicians, nurses, chaplains, and other team members to shape individualized end-of-life care plans. The role blends clinical work—conducting evaluations, maintaining records, and offering individual and family counseling around grief and anxiety—with practical support, connecting patients and families to community resources for financial assistance, legal guidance, and respite care.
This position suits someone with an MSW and at least one year of healthcare experience, ideally in hospice or home health. You'll need current BLS and CPR certifications, a valid driver's license, and reliable transportation for the Carson City area. The hybrid, flexible per diem schedule allows you to manage your own availability. Compensation ranges from $40 to $45 per hour depending on experience, with benefits including 401(k), mileage reimbursement, paid time off, and—for those regularly scheduled 30+ hours weekly—medical, dental, and vision coverage.
