The Social Worker plays a vital role in a dynamic Social Work Team that facilitates positive change and improves the lives of individuals, families, and communities facing social challenges. This is achieved through a community-centric approach and the delivery of targeted interventions, including but not limited to social work services, home ownership support, education support, livelihood development, and community development. The ultimate aim is to empower communities to break the cycle of poverty and achieve sustainable progress.
Working collaboratively with community members and ecosystem partners, the Social Worker supports socially disadvantaged, low-income families and individuals in realising their aspirations. He/She will maintain a high standard of professionalism and be accountable to the service user, the community, and the organisation, to ensure that intervention plans are developed and implemented with sound professional judgment and high ethical standards.
