Health Care Social Worker B - New Glasgow, Canada - Nova Scotia Health Authority
Description
About the Opportunity
The Health Care Social Worker is a member of the interdisciplinary health care team providing collaborative, holistic care on the primary to quaternary care continuum. Social Workers are primarily concerned with the relationships between people and their environments, which are integral to psychosocial, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The social determinants of health are embedded in social work theory and practice and are the focus of the dynamic and interactive process of engagement, assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation. Social Workers build upon the strengths of patients/clients by focusing on existing coping strategies and problem-solving skills, past successes, and personal resources.
