Social work is a demanding yet rewarding career choice. You will be helping individuals and families through difficult situations, and ensuring that vulnerable members of society are safeguarded and have the correct support. You may be exposed to unfavourable situations, working with children and families, victims of crime, and people dealing with addiction or mental health problems.
Difficulties aside, social work would be the perfect choice for anybody with a patient demeanour who enjoys working with and helping other people. Your role as a social worker will aid people in need, potentially improving their lives. The education of social workers is incredibly important, as this ensures that graduates are providing the best possible service for those in need, as well as staying up to date with the most prevalent social issues.
