What is the difference between social work and social care work?
Social workers have to attain the degree in social work. They will be involved at a high level with users, working with them to assess their care requirements and working alongside other professionals such as doctors to make sure that every user receives the particular type of support that he or she needs. Social care workers tend to offer more personal care. Often they will be involved in supporting one user or a few users in the tasks of everyday living. They often do not need any qualifications when they begin the work but they will usually be expected to work towards a qualification as they work and they will receive training through their employers to this end.
