About The Position
Fenway Health is committed to providing comprehensive care to individuals living with HIV (PLWH). Many of our patients face significant social barriers that hinder their ability to engage in healthcare and maintain viral suppression, which can lead to negative health outcomes and increased risk of HIV transmission. The High Acuity Social Worker, reporting to the Administrative and Clinical Managers for the High Acuity Community Health Worker (CHW) Program, ensures that PLWH are appropriately assessed, triaged, and supported while managing a modest caseload (~20 clients at a time) for individual, low barrier 1:1 therapy. This role plays a crucial part in collaborating with High Acuity CHWs, each managing their own caseloads and supporting unenrolled patients in a drop-in setting, to provide crisis intervention and emotional support. Once a PLWH is enrolled and the case is assigned to a High Acuity CHW, the High Acuity Social Worker works closely with the assigned CHW to develop a service plan and delivery process aimed at stabilization and engagement in medical services. The High Acuity Social Worker will also provide 1:1 therapy using a harm reduction approach, and may have the opportunity to develop and facilitate support groups.
