Additional Information

Careers
Qualified social workers are increasingly valued. Promotion and career development opportunities are excellent. Social workers can be found in:

• Local authorities – from main-grade workers to directorate level; social workers will be providing, managing, purchasing and organising services to people with diverse needs across the life span in different settings
• Voluntary organisations – at all levels, usually working in relatively specialist ways with children and young people with particularly challenging needs, as well as vulnerable adults, especially those with learning disabilities and those affected by mental health issues; settings and contexts vary as widely as in local authorities
• Private sector – often at senior practitioner and management level with services focusing on home-based support to vulnerable adults and residential services to older people as well as foster care support and services to people with offending histories
• Central government – experienced social work managers advise and support ministers in monitoring and developing social work services

• Social work regulation – a range of independent bodies, like the Care Inspectorate and Scottish Social Services Council employ social workers at a senior level to lead and manage registration and inspection of social work services to ensure they meet appropriate standards
