Introduction to Social Work Specialty:

Social work is a young and unpopular subject, so it contains more opportunities. We can regard it as a special activity to help others, and use case work, group work, community work, administration and research to help people solve the problems of individuals, groups and communities, thus promoting the satisfactory relationship between individuals, groups and communities. Social work is to help others in a professional way, adhering to the concept of "helping others to help themselves", restoring the damaged social function (treatment), strengthening the main function of the case (prevention), and exerting the greatest potential (development). Social work is the redistribution and integration of resources, creating more reasonable conditions for the development of vulnerable groups. A simpler understanding is that where there are difficulties, social workers are needed to solve them. From the individual to the country, social workers have a broad vision.

Employment prospects of social work majors in Britain;

After graduation, students majoring in social work can choose civil affairs, labor, social security and health departments, as well as social welfare, service and public welfare organizations such as trade unions and young women, and mainly engage in social security, social policy research, social administration, community development and management, social service, evaluation and operation.

Most students who choose social work major want to work in the social security department. Some graduates choose to engage in social work, such as dealing with child welfare, psychological welfare and protective foster families, while others choose to look after children and other vulnerable groups in boarding schools or homestays.

Many graduates majoring in social work also choose to serve as consultants in the national medical insurance system after graduation, or as family and community liaison officers in the police force. Some of them even obtained a postgraduate diploma in law and joined the legal career.

However, a lot of skills I gained in the course of studying can also be transferred to various interpersonal industries, such as retail, tourism and leisure industries. Some graduates also choose to engage in bidding writing or copywriting in social focus institutions such as large enterprises or institutions.

As the birthplace of social work and a country with a relatively perfect welfare system, Britain is one of the few areas where the supply of talents is always less than the demand. Many non-profit organizations provide a large number of corresponding posts, but the shortage of teachers and the relatively abundant demand of academic circles are even more rare. In developed countries and regions, engaging in social work is a very noble and decent job with good pay. China and Hongkong are close at hand, and the income of social workers is stable. The average junior social worker's monthly salary is 1.2 million yuan-1.8 million yuan, and the senior social worker's annual salary can reach more than 400,000 yuan.

Because social work in the Mainland has just started, there are still many areas that need to be improved. Professionalization precedes professionalization, which also causes some professional confusion of social workers. The professional identification of social workers is not strict, and professional social workers may encounter the situation that they cannot display their professional expertise after employment. However, with the improvement of the country's comprehensive strength, social work, as a lubricant to help the government run and coordinate the relationship between the upper and lower levels of society, the demand gap will become more obvious and the demand for specialization will inevitably increase. Experts predict that in the next decade, citizens will gradually form a sense of social work, and the government will also introduce supporting policies. Social work, a new profession, will have a good development prospect.

I would like to introduce the application characteristics and employment prospects of social work major in Britain, hoping to help the applicants.
