I am a social worker and I hate people.  My next job will have no people in it.  Widgets here I come.  Seriously, it can be exasperating and stressful and it seems the rewards are fewer and far between.

i am studying to be a social worker in London and the main thing they want before letting you study is experience. I'm not sure how old you have to be when you leave school but maybe you could start off doing voluntary work in a care home or that environment. its hard to say to much as like i say I'm not sure on the education system over there. however you do it i wish you all the luck as there is not enough social workers but too many people needing them.

Ask your school - the office secretary should know, or have records.

First, think of yourself in terms of the current phrase for those who work that way ... adminstrative assistant\n\nYou assist in the administration of the activity of that business. You are another set of eyes, ears and hands for that person. Therefore, you are a logical extension of how your supervisors see the business working.\n\nTry to help the business you work for grow and succeed, while helping the persons you answer to achieve their goals.

While I'm sure that social workers do have a small part in preventing deviance, my experience has been that they are mostly a reaction to deviance.  They usually end up involved in cases after deviance has occurred to try and work through things and clean up the current mess.  \n\nI'm not sure what success rate statistics are, but they may play a part in helping the children of deviant parents (to take only one example) to not repeat the pattern of violence, drug use, alcohol abuse, abusive parenting, etc. In this case, their main role would be to educate the involved parties, help them find and create support networks, and follow-up actions to gauge the needed amount of involvement.  \n\nSome social workers are assigned to particular cases that the school and/or legal systems believe to be "at risk."  In this case their roles in preventing deviance are probably greater but they still use the same tactics of education, support, and consistent involvement.\n\nHope this helps!\n\nFR

In my view a Social worker is very much the same as a teacher in the sense that a Social worker is a Social pedagogist or Social Educator and a teacher is a pedagogist or an educator. Each have a role in society to educate and advance the individual towards taking responsibility and making choices in life with the goal of achieving their individual aspirations. \n\nAs to which profession would be the best for you is a difficult question. Social work is tough regarding Child welfare. The children you will be involved with will need someone who can stand by them when no-one else will and listen to their stories that will make you glad that it was not one of you own children. However your role would still be to educate (life coping skills) the child towards understanding and dealing with their situation until the are able to return home or another safe environment and hence continue school. \n\nTeaching on the other hand teaches children the things they need to know to live in the modern world and gives them tools for coping and continuing with their educational life until the go to work and to contribute positively to society. \n\nBetween the two the are both demanding, but also fulfilling however the wages are very bad with both.

There are many charity and not-for-profit organizations out there that have marketing, advertising and other related administration positions. It can be tough getting a job with one but if you start by volunteering for a while and get to know the people in the hiring/HR departments (and let them know you want a full time position) they will keep you in mind when a job opens up. Just think of something that you'd love to do - help animals, kids, etc, and start volunteering with that group.

Framed by a generalist foundation, empowerment practice directs social workers to address challenges at all levels, including those of individuals, families, groups, organizations, neighborhoods, communities, and society.  Empowerment is achieved through synchronized efforts that work with - not on - people, their relationships, and the impinging social and political environment.  These simultaneous and coordinated efforts create a spiral of influences that initiate, sustain, and amplify empowered functioning. \n\nEmpowerment-based practice actuates a strengths perspective, centering the social work process toward competence promotion and away from the stigmatizing notion of deficit reduction.  An empowering approach reveals the worker’s unwavering commitment to social justice.  This approach operates on the axiom that we all benefit when we acknowledge every person’s rights and responsibilities to contribute to and receive from community participation in a reciprocal relationship. \n\nBeing empowered is not a static condition but rather is a dynamic and cyclical one.  Human individual and social systems are in perpetual motion, either “getting better” or “getting worse” at any given moment.  Empowerment indicates a simpatico state in which one’s perception of self efficacy and essential value is mirrored in and accentuated by social relationships and the larger environment.  Empowerment is a confluence of the individual, the interpersonal, and the sociopolitical where the experience of power in each sphere continually replenishes the others. \n\nThe empowered individual enters each interaction assuming success, respect, and influence; and when these expectations are rewarded, carries back a sense of personal control and esteem.  This realization of interpersonal success builds confidence for interactions at the institutional level - feelings that drive empowered people forward to assert their rights, develop their privilege, and fashion just environments.  In return, a just and ethical society offers equal access to power which is reflected in the lives of each individual citizen. \n\nEmpowering initiatives at the individual level are supported and sustained only by opening pathways to power sources in social, economic, and institutional structures.  Empowering initiatives at the societal level only have benefits when those individuals and groups previously disenfranchised rise up to meet them. \n\nTo facilitate empowerment, practitioners  integrate a continuum of strategies ranging from individual development to relationship improvement to resource acquisition and reallocation through social and institutional change.  Collaborating as partners, clients and social workers can coordinate these efforts simultaneously or sequentially, but no part of the ecosystemic transaction can be ignored.  Empowerment efforts at the personal level provide only brief respite if they are not supported by complimentary changes within interpersonal and sociopolitical realms.  Likewise, even broad based social improvements wane if not protected by the continuing influence of empowered individuals, families, and groups. \n\nThe empowerment method focuses on the achievement of goals and change of systems by utilizing available strengths, resilience, and resources.  By focusing on competence rather than deficits in individual or social functioning, the empowerment model supports resourcefulness and the development of skills to remove social barriers for individuals and communities.

As someone who works in the social work field, all I can say is run away.  Find anything else in the world.  Find a job that allows you to leave work at work and just pay attention to friends and family, because they will be there when your clients are long gone.

Hopefully some schooling. I have my masters in social work. \nA good social worker is someone who is flexible, determined, good listener, problem solver and someone who likes to better peoples situations. \nSocial workers get paid "dump" and are not respected in their communities. \nSocial Work is a hard and rewarding job.  \n\nThe everyday job depends on what type of social work you practice. I am currently a child protection service worker(formally a foster care worker).  \nMy day entails putting out fires in people lives and making sure that children are safe. On occasions I have to place children into foster care. I really like my job. Never a dull moment!

There are many organizations that hire social workers.\n\nSchools, support groups, community clinics, welfare offices, aid to immigrants.\n\nProbably many more too.  Good Luck!
