Join Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute and become part of one of the world’s most respected healthcare organizations. We are expanding with a new, one-million-square-foot, 15-floor,state-of-the-artfacility on Cleveland Clinic Main Campus designed to elevate care for complex neurological conditions — including spine injuries, epileptic seizures, movement disorders, multiplesclerosisand stroke.
This advanced building brings every stage of care under one roof, featuring dedicated spaces for outpatient services, surgery, stepdown, ICU and epilepsy monitoring, as well asadditionaloperating rooms and expanded ambulatory, infusion, imaging, EMG,sleepand rehabilitation services. Weare welcomingnew caregivers to collaborate within our multidisciplinary teams and contribute to nationally recognized, innovative neurological care. Join us and be part of the next wave of transformative care at Cleveland Clinic.
As a Case Management Social Worker, you will collaborate with interdisciplinary healthcare teams across the continuum of care to coordinate seamless patient transitions and deliver compassionate, patient-centered support. You will apply your expertise in crisis intervention, care coordination, psychosocial assessment, discharge planning, resource navigation, counseling, and patient advocacy to assist individuals and families from diverse backgrounds with complex medical, behavioral, and social needs. Your work will directly influence patient outcomes by empowering individuals and families to self-manage their care, access community resources, and achieve greater stability, recovery, and overall well-being.
This position is neuro-specific and will be embedded directly within the nursing units of the neuro building, working closely with ICU and inpatient care teams to provide social work consult support. Candidates should possess prior social work experience, though hospital-based experience is not required; however, new graduates will not be considered for these roles. Team members will participate in an extensive 8–12 week onboarding and training program, including dedicated neuro-focused training and cross-coverage preparation alongside experienced hospital case managers. While the primary focus will be consultative social work support within ICUs and nursing units, staff will also receive training to assist with cross-coverage responsibilities as needed.
