The Social Worker in the Movement Disorders Clinic provides clinic-based, time-limited psychosocial support and system navigation for outpatients whose movement disorder creates barriers to accessing, participating in, or sustaining care. Working collaboratively with patients, care partners, physicians, and the interprofessional team, the role focuses on assessment, supportive counselling, education, and coordination with health and community services to address disease-related psychosocial, financial, logistical, and care-planning needs. The position emphasizes consultative intervention, clear role boundaries, and timely connection to appropriate ongoing community and system supports rather than longitudinal case management.
