Social Work

Social work is about helping people find solutions to problems.  Social workers often visit people in their homes to assess their needs and work with other agencies and departments such as the NHS, the Probation Service and the council's education department. Normally social workers will specialise in a particular type of work either with adults or with children and young people.  The work may include assisting ex-offenders to find jobs, supporting people with HIV/AIDS, helping to rehabilitate those who have been addicted to drugs or alcohol, enabling those with disabilities to live independently, dealing with child abuse cases and supporting foster carers.
