  • Conduct community outreach and engagement calls to oncology providers, clinics, and support networks to raise awareness about Forge’s services and availability
  • Complete initial assessments, treatment plans, safety planning, and documentation in alignment with clinical and compliance standards
  • Collaborate with the clinical leadership team and participate in team meetings, case consultations, and program development efforts
  • Maintain timely and accurate clinical documentation in the electronic health record (EHR)
  • Participate in continued education and growth efforts as the program evolves

How we define success:

  • Master’s degree in Social Work, Mental Health Counseling, Psychology, or related field

  • Willingness to become cross-licensed (support available)
  • Prior experience or strong interest in psycho-oncology, grief, medical trauma, or chronic illness
  • Must be comfortable leading groups and offering care via telehealth and/or in-person
  • Strong interpersonal and outreach skills to build and maintain community relationships
  • Technologically competent and confident using EHR systems and virtual platforms

If you're passionate about high-quality, evidence-based care and want to be part of building something new and necessary for oncology-impacted communities, we want to hear from you!

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
