- Connect families with helpful resources and community services
- Work closely with nurses, doctors, and chaplains to provide well-rounded care
- Guide families through hospice services and care decisions
- Respect and honor cultural and spiritual preferences in all care
- Offer grief and bereavement support after a patient passes
- Active NJ license (LSW or LCSW)
- Experience in hospice, palliative care, or healthcare is a big plus
- Solid understanding of end-of-life care and what families go through
