Entry Level Medical Social Worker Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level medical social worker job?
Start by completing supervised field placements during your MSW or BSW program, since most entry level roles require demonstrated clinical hours even without paid experience. Tailor your resume to highlight internship settings, populations served, and any case management or discharge planning work. Earning your state licensure, or sitting for the exam immediately after graduation, signals readiness and gives you a competitive edge over candidates who wait.
Which companies hire entry level medical social workers?
Companies hiring entry level medical social workers right now include Optum, Elara Caring, and National HealthCare Corporation, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Hospitals, community health centers, and behavioral health organizations are among the most active employers at this level, often building pipelines from graduate school internship partnerships.
Are there remote entry level medical social worker jobs?
Yes, though most entry level roles are on-site given the hands-on nature of clinical social work. About 2% of entry level medical social worker openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, and those positions tend to focus on care coordination, telehealth counseling, or case management rather than direct bedside or inpatient work.
Are these new grad medical social worker jobs?
Yes, the listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior medical social worker roles. A posting is typically new-grad friendly when it welcomes 0 to 2 years of experience, counts supervised internship or practicum hours toward requirements, or accepts a strong portfolio of field placements in place of paid work history. Look for language like 'new grads encouraged' or 'will train' in the job description.
Which industries hire the most entry level medical social workers?
Entry Level medical social worker roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Consulting & Professional Services, and Education, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. These sectors drive the most entry level hiring because they operate high patient volumes, carry regulatory requirements for social work coverage, and frequently run formal new graduate onboarding programs.
