Entry Level Oncology Social Worker Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level oncology social worker job?
Start by completing a master's in social work with a field placement in oncology, palliative care, or a related medical setting, since hands-on clinical hours signal readiness to employers. Obtaining your state licensure, even at the associate or provisional level, strengthens your application considerably. Tailoring your resume to highlight patient advocacy, care coordination, and interdisciplinary team experience helps entry level candidates stand out at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level oncology social workers?
Companies hiring entry level oncology social workers right now include Banner Health, Henry Ford Health, and Ascension, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level tends to come from hospital systems, cancer treatment centers, hospice organizations, and large health networks that have dedicated oncology or palliative care departments with structured onboarding for new graduates.
Are there remote entry level oncology social worker jobs?
Yes, though most positions at this level are on-site given the clinical nature of the work. About 8% of entry level oncology social worker openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those roles typically involve care coordination, patient navigation, or telehealth counseling rather than direct bedside support.

A new-grad-friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internship hours or supervised field placements in lieu of paid work history, and may consider a strong portfolio of case work or clinical rotations as evidence of readiness for the role.
Which industries hire the most entry level oncology social workers?
Entry Level oncology social worker roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Education, and Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors drive entry level hiring because they operate dedicated cancer programs, palliative care units, and patient navigation teams where new graduates can build supervised clinical experience alongside licensed practitioners.
