The role
What a social worker actually does, day to day.
As a social worker, you are there for people when life gets difficult. You meet with families and individuals, listen to what is happening in their lives, and work out what help they need - whether that is help with money, housing, childcare, or coping with problems at home.
Most days you will write reports, make phone calls to arrange services, and visit people in their homes or in offices. You might help someone apply for benefits, find new housing, or plan care for an elderly person. It can be demanding work - you will hear about sad and difficult things - but knowing you have made someone's life better is very rewarding.
