Review before applying:Â What exactly do direct service roles involve?
In short, direct service work means helping people directly – working with individuals, families, or children to either prevent or deal with problems in their day-to-day lives. In direct social service, you could be working with any of a huge number of issues: financial and housing stability, food security, educational obstacles, recovery from trauma or abuse, mental health, chronic illness, or many others. These positions are also needed in a wide variety of organizational settings: hospitals, schools, child welfare or adoption agencies, temporary housing providers, food banks, legal service providers, and many, many more.
A position in social work or direct service might be right for you if:
- You enjoy helping others. Do you find it motivating, inspiring, or energizing to provide someone with assistance and see their lives improve as a result? Social service can be extremely challenging but very rewarding for those who do.
- You are skilled at communicating with people who are in a vulnerable situations. Have you ever been told you’re a good listener or a highly empathetic person?
- You are detail-oriented, a critical thinker, and unafraid to make tough decisions in collaboration with others. People seeking human services are often facing difficult circumstances, and agencies tasked with helping them often have limited resources and options.
- You are resilient – mentally, emotionally, and physically. Direct service professionals should be adept at self-care.
