Job Description

Type: Independent Contractor - Flexible anywhere from 1 - 4 days a week ($350 - $500 per day)

Job Overview:

UltaCare Medical, a leader in providing on-site healthcare services, is currently seeking a dedicated Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to join our team. In this role, you will provide essential psychotherapy (talk therapy) services to residents of a nursing home. 

We remove the common burdens associated with many other similar roles. We take care of all billing, credentialing, dealing with insurance, and other administrative tasks. This enables you to focus on what you are trained to do best and provide valuable talk therapy to the nursing home residents.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with facility staff and administration, when appropriate, to provide an integrated patient experience. 
• Document visit notes within 24 hours of the visit.
• Provide therapeutic services to patients and occasionally to their families.
• Demonstrate compassion and commitment to patients.

Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in social work or a related field from an accredited university.
• Active LCSW license in good standing.
• Experience working with the geriatric population (preferred but not required).

Benefits of working with us :

• Independent work environment. You are empowered to make your own decisions and work on your own within the facility. 
• Excellent compensation in the 70th-90th percentile according to salary.com data.
• Choose your hours. As long as it’s during the work week, you can choose when you come in and when you leave. All that we ask is that we agree generally on how many hours total each week you are going to work so that the facility has a realistic expectation of how often you will be in.
• Make a genuine impact. Anxiety, depression, dementia, grief and loss and a variety of other mental health conditions are prominent challenges in nursing home populations. As an LCSW with UltaCare Medical, you’ll have the opportunity to use your skills and expertise to make a meaningful difference in the lives of these residents.

Company Mission:

“To elevate the care that our senior population deserves by providing compassionate, responsive, expert medical services on-site, directly to the patient. This is our UltaCare.”

​UltaCare Medical is a patient-focused medical group dedicated to providing high-quality care to seniors in long-term care and skilled nursing facilities. Our team of compassionate and expert providers offer a range of services, including primary care, mental health care, wound care, and more. We're committed to removing unnecessary administrative burdens and empowering our providers to deliver the best care possible. UltaCare Medical has a rich history rooted in the dedication and passion of our founder, a geriatrician, who was approached by a struggling nursing home in East TN in 2006. The facility had incurred significant tags and fines from the state for a number of issues and needed help to improve healthcare for their residents. Our founder conducted an in-depth analysis and recommended embedding certain providers into the facility to improve care. The nursing home was so impressed with his work that they asked him to implement the changes he recommended. After several years, the nursing home went from being a struggling 1-star facility, barely able to stay open, to a thriving 5-star facility at 100% occupancy. Our founder's work was recognized when he was awarded the prestigious AMDA National Medical Director of the Year. This experience inspired the development of UltaCare Medical's patient-focused model, which has evolved and improved over the intervening 17 years. Today, our team of compassionate and expert providers offer a range of services, including primary care, mental health care, wound care, and more, with a mission to elevate the standard of care for seniors in long-term care and skilled nursing facilities. We're committed to removing unnecessary administrative burdens and empowering our providers to deliver the best care possible. Our model has proved to be successful in improving the health and quality of life of our patients, and we continue to grow and expand to new locations across TN, KY, TX, KS, IA, NE, and IL.
