If you enjoy working with people, thrive on the unexpected and would like to help make a difference to people's lives, then social work could be the career for you. Personal qualities such as patience, honesty, sensitivity, tolerance, persistence and sound judgement are a good foundation for social work training. At Anglia Ruskin we will work with you to help you develop the knowledge, values and skills which you will need in order to qualify as a social worker. Social work is work with people. It's that simple and that complicated. The aim of social work is to provide and manage care, support and protection in partnership with individuals, families, groups and communities to enable them to function, participate and develop in society.

Social
Living organisms including humans are social when they live collectively in interacting populations, whether they are aware of it, and whether the interaction is voluntary or involuntary.
Social Work
Social work is an academic discipline and profession that concerns itself with individuals, families, groups and communities in an effort to enhance social functioning and overall well-being. Social functioning refers to the way in which people perform their social roles, and the structural institutions that are provided to sustain them. Social work applies social sciences, such as sociology, psychology, political science, public health, community development, law, and economics, to engage with client systems, conduct assessments, and develop interventions to solve social and personal problems; and create social change. Social work practice is often divided into micro-work, which involves working directly with individuals or small groups; and macro-work, which involves working communities, and within social policy, to create change on a larger scale.
