In the Charlestown Social Work & Nonprofit category, you can find a range of roles within this sector, including social workers, counselors, youth workers, community volunteers, and more. Below we have outlined some of the many opportunities available in this field and what you could expect out of these roles.

Social Work

Social workers help adults, children, and families with difficult situations in many different cases. There are a variety of areas of work to provide aid to individuals, such as in the school system, housing, criminal justice, medical, military, mental health, child care, and many more. If you’re a qualified counselor you can find roles helping people in many different facets of their life, and working to improve their situation.

Youth Workers

A youth worker will work with children and young adults, helping them develop in their personal and educational aspects of life. In comparison to a childcare worker, this position is typically much more informal, acting as an advocate or leader, often working with children in groups in after-school programs or at community centres.

Volunteering

If you want to help out but you’re not sure you can handle a full-time career at a charity, organisations are always looking for volunteers. Volunteering is a great way to gain some experience, explore a new interest, and see if this is something you would be interested in doing more in long term.
