Job Summary

This clinical social worker position works with the Positive Health Access to Services and Treatment (PHAST) and RAPID teams. The purpose of the PHAST program is to provide enhanced support with rapid linkage, HIV treatment, and sustained engagement in primary medical care through integrated nursing and medical case management, outreach services, social services, and coordination of care with appropriate community agencies. For newly diagnosed HIV positive individuals and patients who have been off antiretroviral therapy, identified either at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (ZSFG) campus or community testing sites, the PHAST/RAPID team provides enhanced supportive interventions, such as HIV test disclosure, post-test counseling and education, partner services, engagement interventions, and facilitates immediate access to medical care and HIV treatments, often on the same day of diagnosis or identification. Incumbent will work with patients receiving services from the PHAST/RAPID program, will see patients in a variety of settings, will assess their psycho-social needs, and design and execute comprehensive psychosocial care plans to support engagement in HIV care.

Incumbent will collaborate closely with other members of the interprofessional PHAST/RAPID team and the inpatient Infectious Disease Consult Service and serve as a liaison between ZSFG and the outpatient HIV medical clinic, the Emergency Department social services staff, and other key community primary care clinics and organizations. Under the direction of the Social Work Supervisor, the incumbent is responsible for providing comprehensive psychosocial care to persons living with HIV. Incumbent will additionally work with HIV positive individuals on implementing structured interventions to support ART adherence through both RAPID and RAPID Restart pathways. The RAPID Restart program is a new initiative aimed at providing enhanced support for individuals who experience challenges with ART adherence and will provide opportunities to participate in developing clinical interventions, programmatic evaluation, and develop subject matter expertise in a new area of HIV care. Incumbent will also have responsibilities coordinating key collaborations within the DPH, coordinate training and technical assistance with other clinical sites, and participate HIV treatment and prevention efforts, committees, and collaborations as needed.
