I am reaching my breaking point with school social work and I’m ready for a big shift. I am tired of the big caseload and having to do group therapy everyday. I do not have my clinical license because I’ve never had an interest in becoming a therapist. I am looking at hospital jobs, specifically discharge planning, because those jobs appear to have no caseloads or direct clients. Are there any other jobs out there that I should be on the lookout for?

Just an FYI you will have a case load and “direct” clients as a discharge planner. It will depend on the unit you’re on.

Examples- when I was on psych - I had 10-15 people on my list at all times. On the eating disorder unit role - I had up to 15-17 patients and worked a lot with their families throughout their stay
