Workload, language and place, read from the postings themselves. Swiss employers write the workload into the title and name the language they need; both are counted here, nothing is inferred.
Language stated in the posting

Workload stated in the title
- 80%52
- 80 to 100%29
- 60%26
- 50%23
A range ending in 100% means full time is offered and less is negotiable.

Quick answers
How many social Worker jobs in Switzerland are open right now?
392 live openings, refreshed with the nightly scrape; the newest was posted Sep 16. A page like this only exists while it clears a minimum of live listings, so the count is real inventory, never padding. Every preloaded search: browse the board.
Can I get a social worker job from an adjacent career?
Measurably, yes. The closest measured pivots in: therapist / counselor (90% skill readiness), psychologist (86% skill readiness), dietitian (48% skill readiness). Each route page lists exactly which skills carry over and which are missing. Moving out instead: careers a social worker can move into.
Do I need German for social worker roles in Switzerland?
9 of the 392 social worker roles here state a language requirement in the posting, and German is the one asked for most (8 postings; French in 5, English in 2). The other 383 say nothing explicit, which in Switzerland usually means the local language of the canton is assumed. A posting written in English is not counted as requiring English; only the stated requirement is. The language pages: german-speaking jobs in switzerland, french-speaking jobs in switzerland, english-speaking jobs in switzerland.
Are part-time social worker roles common in Switzerland?
Swiss postings state the workload in the title as a percentage of a full week, and 248 of the 392 social worker roles here do. 244 of those open the door below 100 percent, 4 are full time only. The commonest stated ranges: 80% (52), 80 to 100% (29), 60% (26), 50% (23). A range like 80 to 100 percent means the employer will take four days a week; it is a real option to negotiate, not a formality.
Where in Switzerland are the social worker roles?
By the location named in the posting: Zürich (32), Lausanne (22), Bern (15), Lucerne (10), Basel (9), Schaffhausen (8). 34 of the 392 are fully remote. Cantons differ in language and in permit practice, so the city is worth checking before the salary.
