What Does a Contract Social Worker Do?
As a contract social worker, your responsibilities involve providing social services to clients on a temporary or independent basis. In this role, you may take the place of a staff social worker in their absence or provide additional support for a social services department when needed. Your job duties include completing assessments for each client or family, creating or reviewing a treatment plan for each case, helping clients cope with issues, and setting development goals.
What is the difference between Contract Social Worker vs Staff Social Worker?
| Aspect | Contract Social Worker | Staff Social Worker |
|---|---|---|
| Employment Type | Temporary or project-based | Full-time or part-time permanent |
| Credentials | Required social work license, relevant certifications | Required social work license, relevant certifications |
| Work Environment | Various settings, often short-term projects | Consistent workplace, such as hospitals, schools, agencies |
| Employer Usage | Agencies, consulting firms, government contracts | Hospitals, schools, social service agencies |
