What is the job of a social worker?

That’s a difficult question to answer, since social workers do so much, from caring for the elderly to making sure disadvantaged children stay healthy. In general, though, social workers help out people who are disadvantaged. These are people who might be looking for work or have serious illnesses or have mental disabilities. Social workers work with the community to make sure those who are less fortunate stay healthy and happy. They do this in a number of ways: by offering advice, visiting homes, making sure kids stay in school, and helping people find work. They can also help people in a broader sense by fighting for laws that help the disadvantaged or by running charitable organizations.
