Social Worker jobs

Right now there are 1,396 social worker openings on our board, and 148 of them arrived in the last seven days. 132 of them are fully remote (remote social worker jobs). The board refreshes every night, so the count moves with the market.

229 of the 1,396 openings state a salary. Across those, the middle half of posted pay runs from $81k to $114k a year. We only count postings that state pay, so this is what employers are advertising today, not an estimate. For the fuller picture by seniority and market, see the social worker salary page.

The three skills social worker postings name most often are Case Management (27% of postings), Treatment Planning (15%) and Mental Health (14%). Those percentages are simply how many of the postings we read mention each one, so you can see which are near-universal and which are nice to have. Every skill, defined: the glossary.

Yes, and we can tell you from where. 2 measured routes lead into social worker work. The closest is from therapist / counselor: a typical therapist / counselor profile already covers 86% of what social worker postings ask for, and the route page lists the exact skills that make up the rest.
