  • Mass General Brigham Community Physicians
  • Mass General Brigham Integrated Care
  • Mass General Brigham Urgent Care
  • Newton Wellesley Medical Group
  • North Shore Physicians Group
  • Pentucket Medical Associates

This work stems from Mass General Brigham’s unified system strategy to bring high-quality healthcare closer to patients while lowering total healthcare costs. MGBMG provides a wide range of offerings, including primary care, behavioral and mental health, specialty care, outpatient surgery, endoscopy, imaging, lab services, infusion, and urgent care both digitally and in person in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Our Team

The Population Health Management (PHM) team at Mass General Brigham is dedicated to enhancing patient value across our system. By utilizing financial and clinical data, we identify opportunities and develop innovative care models through product development and design thinking methodologies. Our approach leverages problem-solving, partnership, and leadership skills to drive continuous improvement and deliver exceptional patient outcomes.

The Opportunity

We are seeking full-time, experienced, and compassionate licensed master’s level Clinical Social Workers and Mental Health Counselors to join our team! Each of these Clinicians will be dedicated to a specific MGBMG region supporting high-risk behavioral health pediatric and adolescent patients 6-17 years old who have had a psychiatric inpatient stay or Emergency Room visit as they step down to a community level of care. The role focuses on conducting post-discharge follow-up calls and supporting patients as they transition to community behavioral health services, providing a targeted, short-term care management intervention to patients. These Clinicians will be responsible for supporting the Mass Health Medicaid quality metrics for follow-up care after a Mental Health Inpatient or Emergency Department discharge.

Due to the nature of our work, it is incredibly important to us that our team members have true passion for pediatrics and a commitment to building relationships with not only with patient, but also with their families in order to support the youth’s health journey.

This role offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on patient care and help drive positive health outcomes! The ideal candidate will be able to work autonomously while functioning as part of a collaborative team.

The schedule is Monday-Friday, 8:30 am-5:00 pm, with some flexibility. As a hybrid opportunity, the position is primarily remote; however, there will be routine, on-site meetings every other Tuesday at Assembly Row located at 399 Revolution Drive, Somerville, MA 02145.

Due to the hybrid nature of the role, we ensure that our employees receive the required technology and training to be proficient and independently productive in all job responsibilities regardless of work location. Employees are responsible for designating a workspace within the remote work location that is private, safe, ergonomic, and free from distractions for all hours worked.

Are you ready to bring your talent to this team and join us in driving medicine forward?

  • Current Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), or Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW).
  • 1-3 years of experience in counseling patients or coordinating behavioral health support services, with exposure to an SMI or SUD population preferred.
