Clinical Social Worker (LISW Required) – Cityblock Health – Columbus, OH

About Us:

Cityblock Health is the first tech-driven provider for communities with complex needs—bringing better care to where it’s needed most, block by block. Founded in 2017 on the premise that “health is local” and based in Brooklyn, we are backed by Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs along with some of the top healthcare investors in the country.

Our mission is to improve the health of underserved communities. Importantly, our solutions are designed specifically for Medicaid and lower-income Medicare beneficiaries, and we meet our members where they are, bringing care into the home and neighborhoods through our community-based care teams and Virtual Care offerings.

In close collaboration with community-based organizations, local providers, and leading health plans, we are reorganizing the health system to focus on what matters to our members. Equipped with world-class, custom care delivery technology, we deliver personalized primary care, behavioral health, and social services to deliver a radically better experience of care for every member and community we serve.

About our Team:

We employ a field-based, home-based care model and are committed to meeting members where they are–in their homes, in their community, and in our Hubs. You will go above and beyond to connect with Cityblock members in a non-judgmental, respectful and empathic manner, to meet their needs, and to provide feedback to the system as a whole as we strive to do better every day.

About the Role:

  • You will work in a radically different model of healthcare
  • Expect collaboration, shared-decision making, and partnership across clinical and non-clinical care team members, including our large team of Community Health Partners
  • As a full-time employee, you should aim to spend approximately 20 hours of your time on Direct Patient Care (visits) in order to comply with weekly appointment goals. This should be adjusted based on member need.
  • Co-manage a population living with complex medical and behavioral health conditions
  • Work a full-time 40 hour week, Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm ET with one late evening a week shared amongst the Behavioral Health team. Your work may take you outside of normal business hours as urgent member needs arise.
  • Provide individual and group therapy, consultations and community referrals, crisis interventions, and safety assessments for members
  • Support existing services in the community or work as the bridge to longer-term behavioral health services
  • Actively participate in daily team huddles and weekly case conferences to advise on behavioral health needs and establish Behavioral Health goals as part of member’s Member Action Plan (MAP)
  • Follow up on Behavioral Health referrals from the Community Health Partner team – schedule 1:1 therapy sessions with members
  • Actively participate in planning and/or implementation of initiatives related to Behavioral Health integration and collaboration with external vendors, community-based service providers, and/or the larger Cityblock Care Team
  • Be the point person for the members on your panel with significant behavioral health diagnoses – be available over phone, email, and in-person for your Care Team
  • Develop and lead programming therapy groups for Cityblock members
  • Utilize our custom-built care facilitation platform, Commons, and the market’s EMR, documenting notes, tracking tasks and communicating with other members of the care team. Documentation should be complete within 72 hours of a member visit or encounter
  • You have an unrestricted driver’s license and vehicle for daily use

  • Direct familiarity with clinical settings and experience with home-visiting/care in the field
