Online Social Worker | New Mexico

A virtual school social worker role is available, providing telehealth services one day per week (approximately 8 hours) for a caseload of eight students aged 12 to 18, primarily between 12 and 14 years old. The position involves delivering both direct and indirect services, with approximately 30 minutes per week per student for Individualized Education Program (IEP) service time. Direct and indirect service time are compensated.

Location: Corrales, NM (virtual service delivery)

Key responsibilities include:

• Providing telehealth social work services aligned with students' IEP requirements
• Supporting a caseload primarily consisting of middle-school-aged students
• Maintaining accurate documentation using district platforms, with training provided
• Collaborating remotely with educational staff and families to address student needs
• Complying with district policies, including participation in their background check process

Qualifications:

• Active professional social work license in New Mexico is strongly preferred
• New Mexico Public Education Department (PED) license is highly desirable
• Experience working with school-aged populations in social work or related roles
• Familiarity with special education services and IEP processes
• Ability to work independently in a virtual setting

The district manages its own background check and offers necessary training for district-specific documentation systems. Providers who are already licensed are prioritized for a faster start, reducing the likelihood of compensatory services.

This contract opportunity offers focused telehealth social work experience with manageable caseloads and flexible scheduling within the education system. Apply to contribute directly to the social and emotional well-being of students through specialized virtual support.
