Oncology Social Worker Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a oncology social worker in Georgia?
You need a Master of Social Work degree from a CSWE-accredited program, then licensure through the Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Social Workers, and Marriage and Family Therapists. New graduates typically obtain the LMSW and complete supervised clinical hours before advancing to the LCSW. Most Georgia oncology employers require or strongly prefer the LCSW along with the OSW-C oncology-specific certification from the Association of Oncology Social Work.
Which companies hire oncology social workers in Georgia?
Companies currently hiring oncology social workers in Georgia include Emory Healthcare, Northside Hospital, and Wellstar Health System, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Georgia's largest integrated health systems and NCI-designated cancer programs consistently post the highest volume of oncology social work openings across the state.
Which Georgia cities have the most oncology social worker jobs?
Atlanta, Augusta, and Decatur have the most oncology social worker openings in Georgia. Atlanta's concentration of large health systems and the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory drives the highest volume, while Augusta and Savannah benefit from anchor institutions like Augusta University Health and Savannah's Memorial Health University Medical Center that maintain dedicated oncology social work teams.
Are there remote oncology social worker jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're rare. Oncology social work is fundamentally a direct-care, bedside-adjacent role, so most positions require in-person presence on oncology units or in infusion centers. About 14% of oncology social worker openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, with the remote subset typically limited to telehealth-based psychosocial counseling or care coordination roles at larger health systems.
How can I get hired as a oncology social worker in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a medical social worker or clinical social work associate role within a Georgia hospital system, then transferring into oncology once you have inpatient experience. Emory Healthcare, Wellstar, and Piedmont Healthcare all offer new-graduate social work fellowships and supervised clinical rotations that frequently place candidates into oncology departments. Completing your LMSW licensure through the Georgia Composite Board before applying and pursuing the OSW-C certification early signals genuine interest and gives you a measurable edge over other candidates without direct oncology experience.
