SUNY Upstate is seeking clinical social workers to join a new Integrated Behavioral Health Care program, which is set to launch with the completion of a new state of the art clinical space – the Nappi Wellness Institute – in early 2023.
Working within a collaborative, team-based and integrated care model, the social workers will be deployed in several primary care clinics to provide direct service as well as consultation and training. Briefer problem-focused interventions are emphasized focusing on common mental health problems, substance abuse, and the psychosocial aspects of chronic health conditions. The social workers will work side by side with physicians, nurses, pharmacists, care managers, and other disciplines in a dynamic team environment focused on individual and population mental health. There is also an Office of Mental Health certified Integrated Care Clinic in the building, where behavioral health providers will be able to see patients for more traditional mental health treatments.
M.S.W., L.M.S.W., L.C.S.W. or eligible, 3 years relevant post-master's experience (preferably in a hospital and/or healthcare environment) required. *New M.S.W. graduates who are L.M.S.W. eligible will be considered for appointment to entry level (SL2) position at a commensurate salary after obtaining a Limited Permit. Must obtain L.M.S.W. within 12 months of receipt of limited permit.
Preferred Qualifications: Experience working within a medical setting and/or as part of a multidisciplinary treatment team. Interest in working as a generalist with the ability to address the wide variety of behavioral health issues that are seen in the primary care setting. Working with refugee population preferred.
