About Us

One Medical is a primary care solution challenging the industry status quo by making quality care more affordable, accessible and enjoyable. But this isn’t your average doctor’s office. We’re on a mission to transform healthcare, which means improving the experience for everyone involved - from patients and providers to employers and health networks. Our seamless in-office and 24/7 virtual care services, on-site labs, and programs for preventive care, chronic care management, common illnesses and mental health concerns have been delighting people for the past fifteen years.

In February 2023 we marked a milestone when One Medical joined Amazon. Together, we look to deliver exceptional health care to more consumers, employers, care team members, and health networks to achieve better health outcomes. As we continue to grow and seek to impact more lives, we’re building a diverse, driven and empathetic team, while working hard to cultivate an environment where everyone can thrive.

The Opportunity:

We are currently seeking a full time Social Worker to join our One Medical at Home program within One Medical High Risk Care. The High Risk Case Management Social Worker will serve as a key member of the interdisciplinary team in conjunction with other members (Practitioners, Health Coaches, Nurses, Behavioral Health Specialists, etc.) to provide accessible, comprehensive, coordinated primary care based on longitudinal healing relationships. The Social Worker’s primary responsibilities center around assessing and developing a comprehensive care plan that addresses the biopsychosocial barriers to a patient’s goals. They provide complex case management to address Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) through partnering with patients, their caregivers, and their broader care network. The Social Worker facilitates difficult discussions around goals of care, advanced care planning, and links patients to state and community resources to improve overall health outcomes.

One Medical Senior Health has a network of primary care practices that seeks to proactively provide the support patients need to live their fullest lives. Our practices offer smaller panel sizes and the opportunity to lead systemic change in health care delivery. The High Risk Care programs support the most medically complex and often homebound patients through a care continuum consisting of primary care house calls (One Medical at Home), care transitions management, and social services support programs. We are a fast-paced, fresh-thinking, high-growth company, building a better model of health care delivery.
