Payne Whitney Social Worker –

Behavioral Health / Psychiatry – Ambulatory – Outpatient Psychiatry

Evaluation and Navigation

Hub

At

NewYork-Presbyterian talented social workers lead, learn, and

educate in a department like no other. Experience a place where

your discipline is immensely respected. Collaborate with a

multidisciplinary team including psychiatrists, nurse

practitioners, psychologists as well as other social workers in

caring for psychiatric / behavioral health patient population. We

partner across the full spectrum of key areas, providing

life-changing research, education, and

practice.

The Social Worker

role will be a tri-campus hub for triage, assessment, and

evaluations to assist adult patients finding the right mental

health care at the right time. This hub will unite existing staff

across campuses to centralize and streamline access while

decreasing redundant, unnecessary, and time-intensive work through

optimization of our electronic medical record and with the use of

innovative technologies. This role will support our strategic

initiative to improve access to our outpatient programs, provide

transparency to available services and treatment within our system,

make rapid and appropriate recommendations for services to a larger

outside ecosystem while supporting Ambulatory Services’ mission to

provide tertiary care to the most acute

patients.

This is a unique

opportunity for a clinically curious and diagnostically driven

social worker who thrives in a fast-paced, evaluation-focused

environment. Unlike traditional roles, this position emphasizes

breadth over caseload management—allowing you to engage with a high

volume of new patients, sharpen your diagnostic skills, and

contribute to clinical decision-making without the ongoing demands

of long-term case management. You’ll leverage advanced tools and

technology to support timely, accurate assessments and help

patients access the most appropriate care pathways. In addition to

working closely with behavioral health colleagues, you will also

evaluate patients referred from other NYP / Weill Cornell

disciplines, offering a dynamic opportunity to collaborate across

medical specialties and broaden your clinical exposure. As part of

this innovative team, you will participate in daily triage and

disposition huddles, collaborate with interdisciplinary colleagues,

and provide psychoeducation to patients and families. This role is

ideal for someone eager to deepen their expertise in psychiatric

evaluation and be part of a transformative model of outpatient

mental health care.
