You will work primarily with stable, low-acuity adults who are receiving hospice care, along with their families. Your role will be critical in providing emotional support and facilitating open communication about end-of-life decisions. Empathy and sensitivity to the emotional challenges faced by clients will be essential in your approach.

The ideal candidate for this position will possess the following qualifications:

• A Bachelor's degree in Social Work, Psychology, or a related field is required.

• A sign-on bonus to support your transition into our team.


• Weekly direct deposit for your convenience.


• A monthly healthcare stipend for full-time counselors to help cover medical expenses.


• Minimal paperwork burden, allowing you to focus on patient care rather than administrative duties.

At Gotham Enterprises Ltd, we believe in investing in our team members. You will have opportunities for professional development, including access to ongoing education and training programs. As you grow in your role, you may also have the chance to participate in leadership training or specialized counseling certifications to further enhance your skills.
