Social Worker

Social workers help people to cope with challenges in their lives, such as family difficulties, mental health issues, or safeguarding concerns. In the UK, social workers are employed by local authorities, the NHS, charities, and private organisations. Their role involves assessing clients' needs, developing care plans, offering emotional support, and connecting people with relevant services. Social workers may specialise in areas such as children and families, adults, mental health, or older people. The work can be emotionally demanding but also highly rewarding, as social workers make a positive impact on individuals and communities.
