Social Work Career Test

By /

Most people think of social work as a single job, but it is actually a wide range of careers with a shared purpose. One social worker might spend the day in family court presenting evidence about a child’s safety, while another helps a refugee family navigate the asylum process. Others support people facing addiction and housing loss or work with communities to improve local services.

Some roles are based in offices and courtrooms, while others take place in homes, neighborhoods, or at the level of entire communities and public systems. What connects them all is a focus on supporting people who are most vulnerable and often overlooked. Take a few minutes to find out which path could be right for you.
