Support members with social and behavioral health needs — social determinants of health, community resource coordination, and psychosocial support from home.
Virelia Health connects social workers with opportunities across social work care coordination, social determinants of health, and community resource coordination.
We are seeking qualified Social Work Care Coordinators for remote opportunities supporting health plans, accountable care organizations (ACOs), value-based care groups, and social work care coordination programs.
A Remote Social Work Care Coordinator supports members with social and behavioral health needs — social determinants of health, community resource coordination, and psychosocial support. Working alongside the member's care team, the social work care coordinator helps members address social barriers to health, access community resources, and achieve their health goals.
This is a social work care coordination role. It's distinct from clinical care management — social work care coordination focuses on social determinants of health and psychosocial support rather than clinical care planning. It's also distinct from complex care — social work care coordination supports members whose primary barriers are social rather than clinical. The role combines psychosocial assessment, social needs screening, community resource coordination, and member advocacy.
This position is well-suited to an LCSW, LMSW, LICSW, or social work care coordination professional with social determinants of health, community resource coordination, or behavioral health support experience who enjoys helping members address social barriers to health.
The specific social work care coordination program, member population, technology platform, and scope of responsibilities will depend on the employer and assignment.
This opportunity may be suitable for professionals searching for remote social work care coordinator jobs, social work care manager, work-from-home social work coordinator, remote SDOH coordinator, or community resource coordinator roles.
Social work care coordination programs operate on scheduled member outreach and resource coordination cadences — typically during weekday business hours, with some programs offering early morning or evening coverage for members who need it. There are no 12-hour hospital shifts, no overnight rotations, and minimal on-call. Many programs offer flexible 8- or 10-hour blocks, and some social work care coordinators work 4-day compressed weeks. We offer both full-time and part-time positions. Discuss your preferred schedule during your interview.
As a Remote Social Work Care Coordinator, you may support members across the full social work care coordination lifecycle.
Social work care coordination programs support members whose health is significantly affected by social factors — food insecurity, housing instability, transportation barriers, social isolation, and behavioral health needs. Social work care coordinators are the members' advocates and guides to community resources and social support.
Depending on the program, social work care coordination may focus on:
The social work care coordinator's role is to assess social and behavioral needs, coordinate community resources, advocate for members, and document all interactions. Clinical decisions, medication changes, and diagnostic decisions belong to the member's treating providers; the social work care coordinator supports the member's social and behavioral health needs and coordinates with the care team.
This structure keeps the role focused on psychosocial assessment, social needs screening, community resource coordination, documentation, and appropriate escalation.
Social work care coordination success depends on strong community resource coordination — helping members access the resources that address social barriers to health.
You may support social determinants and community resource coordination by:
Clear communication, member empathy, and rigorous resource coordination are essential — social work care coordinators are the members' advocates and guides to community support.
A Remote Social Work Care Coordinator may follow a structured workflow across each member's social work care coordination journey.
Depending on the employer's protocols, you may:
If a member reports acute clinical symptoms, behavioral health crisis, safety concerns, or other urgent needs during any interaction, the social work care coordinator must follow the employer's crisis escalation protocol immediately — including directing the member to call 911, contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or seek emergency care as appropriate.
Experience or certification in any of the following may be beneficial:
A typical day may begin by reviewing your social work care coordination member panel — checking who is due for a scheduled check-in, who has recent social needs, and who has missed recent outreach.
You'll connect with members by phone or video to complete psychosocial assessments, screen for social needs, and support members in accessing community resources.
Between member calls, you'll coordinate with community agencies, advocate for members with health plans and providers, and document each contact accurately.
You'll participate in interdisciplinary care team meetings, escalate members with unmet social needs or safety concerns, and follow up on members who haven't been reached.
The role combines psychosocial assessment, social needs screening, community resource coordination, member advocacy, documentation, and appropriate escalation.
Unlike clinical care management, which focuses on clinical care planning, social work care coordination focuses on social determinants of health and psychosocial support — you're the member's advocate and guide to community support.
