Lead Social Services Care Coordinator – Phoenix Children’s Care Network (PCCN)

Join our team as a Lead Social Services Care Coordinator!

Are you an experienced pediatric social worker looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a leadership role—without providing traditional face-to-face patient care? Phoenix Children’s Care Network (PCCN) is seeking a collaborative, resourceful leader to support patients, families, and care teams through comprehensive care coordination and community resource navigation.

This fully remote position combines advanced care coordination with leadership responsibilities. As the Lead Social Services Care Coordinator, you will manage a reduced caseload of complex, high-risk cases while serving as the clinical resource and subject matter expert for the Integrated Care Coordination (ICC) social services team.

What You’ll Do

In this role, you will:

Coordinate care for pediatric patients with complex social, behavioral, and community resource needs.

Identify and address gaps in care related to mental health, social determinants of health, community resources, and school systems.

Connect patients and families with community, state, and educational resources, including DDD, ALTCS, AzEIP, child welfare, and school-based services.

Lead care coordination for specialized and high-risk cases while serving as a strong advocate for patients and families.

Provide education, guidance, and consultation to Social Services Care Coordinators and the Integrated Care Coordination team.

Build collaborative relationships with physicians, providers, community agencies, state programs, and external partners.

Participate in Child & Family Team (CFT) meetings, Joint Operations Committee (JOC) meetings, network meetings, and quality initiatives.

Complete quality audits, maintain role-specific job aids, support annual team reviews, and partner with leadership on program initiatives and quality improvement efforts.

Stay current on pediatric care management best practices and evolving community resources.

Please Note

This is not a traditional hospital-based social work position. Care coordination is conducted primarily through virtual and telephonic communication rather than routine face-to-face patient interactions.
