Wilmington, Delaware, United States Veterans Health Administration Full time
VA Careers - Social Work:


The (SUD) Specialist supports the HUD VASH Program by providing continuity of care between Homeless Programs through services to Veterans with SUDs as they transition from programs such as HCHV Outreach or Contract Residential Housing, Residential Rehabilitation and Treatment Programs (RRTPs), and Grant Per Diem Programs (GPD) to permanent housing through the Housing and Urban Development-Veterans Affairs Supported Housing (HUD-VASH) Program or other forms of housing in the community.


The HUD-VASH Program requires continuous coordination with the community's homeless providers and coalitions as well as with other local, state, and federal agencies.

The Senior Social Worker develops, coordinates and maintains theses linkages as appropriate and needed for the homeless veteran population.


The Senior Social Worker provides on-going substance use case management and early treatment interventions to promote sustained stability and abstinence in homeless and at-risk Veterans receiving VA homeless services.

The primary focus is on Veterans who reside in rural areas and face various psychosocial barriers to obtaining SUD treatment such as limited access and insufficient transportation.

Substance use can be a contributing factor to homelessness, so providing SUD treatment support and early intervention can promote recovery, improved quality of life and successful permanent housing.

Homeless Veterans are frequently also diagnosed with co-occurring mental health, physical health and social problems that require particular skill in early engagement, motivational interviewing, and crisis management.

The Senior Social Worker must be able to develop appropriate professional relationships with the Veterans and meet the Veteran where he or she is ready to engage in treatment.

The Senior Social Worker also will need to develop liaison relationships with more acute treatment providers/ programs, such as an Intensive Outpatient Program.

The Senior Social Worker will provide appropriate group and individual case management and treatment intervention in the Veteran's home, at local VA CBOC, and possibly at Non-VA community agencies in order to increase access.

Travel will be required throughout the Wilmington Catchment area which includes Delaware and Southern New Jersey. A flexible schedule is also required to participate in outreach events that occur on weekends/evenings. The location of this position has some flexibility and will be split between
Kent and Sussex County Community Outpatient Based Clinics.

Work Schedule:
Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm
