Make a Difference When It Matters Most

At Good Samaritan, we believe that supporting patients and families through the end-of-life journey is sacred work. We are seeking a compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to join our interdisciplinary team and provide expert grief and bereavement support to individuals and families coping with loss.

This is more than a counseling role — it’s an opportunity to walk alongside those experiencing deep grief and help them find meaning, healing, and connection.

What We’re Looking For:

• Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia (or license-eligible) preferred.
• Experience in hospice, palliative care, mental health, or trauma-informed care preferred
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills
• Empathy, resilience, and the ability to hold space for others in their most vulnerable moments

Find your sense of purpose here at Good Sam where everyone has the opportunity to do meaningful work and be recognized for their efforts.

Because Good Sam knows that “every moment of the journey matters.”

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct initial bereavement assessments assessing clients coping abilities and strengths
• Develop and provide timely implementation of a plan of care according to the assessed needs and expressed wishes of the client
• Serve as a clinical resource for social workers and bereavement staff
• Provide grief counseling and crisis intervention, as necessary, to develop and enhance client’s coping skills related to grief/loss
• Reassess client’s progress at each contact and amend the plan of care
• Clearly document all interactions according to organizational policy and procedures and regulatory standards
• Facilitate support groups and grief/loss programs throughout the year
• Plan and implement community grief education and supportive programming throughout the year
• Provide grief and loss related programs in the organization and the community
• Make follow-up phone calls in order to check on client’s progress and complete bereavement assessments and notes

Schedule: Monday - Friday 8:30am - 5:00pm
