Why Become a Social Worker?
Many people go into social work because they want to ‘make a difference’. They want to work with people and help them to access services they may need. They work to signpost people to the most appropriate services following assessments. People wanting to be social workers need to be able to manage a, sometimes heavy, workload and manage their time effectively. They also need to keep effective notes on their cases for other professionals to be able to access and understand for the best outcomes of the service user.
