What is the salary of social workers in Guangzhou?

1. What is the salary of a social worker?

This question is a good question, really a good question, but the salary of social workers is not high, and it is really not high. The wages in the social work industry are relatively low, and it is difficult to make qualitative changes in a short period of time. This has always been a problem.

As an example, I think I can roughly represent the general level of social work in Guangzhou. When I was an intern, I made 1,00 a month, when I was a social worker, I made 4,00 a month, when I was a supervisor, I made 5,00 a month, and when I was a deputy director, I made 6,00 a month.

It can be said that the money you get is not directly proportional to your workload and work content. In first-tier cities like Guangzhou, it is really difficult to survive as a social worker. Even if you go to Shanghai and Shenzhen, the salary may be one or two thousand higher than in Guangzhou, or even about the same. In Guangzhou, compared to me at the same time, There must be many positions in the current period with lower wages than mine.

If you want to get a relatively good salary by working as a social worker, there are several ways to work hard:

1. Take the social work certificate exam!

Nowadays, most social work organizations hope that you can work with a certificate, and social work service projects have become more and more rigid in their requirements for social workers’ certificates. Therefore, you basically get junior social workers and intermediate social workers. If you are a social worker or even a senior social worker, the social work agency will give you a certain salary increase based on the level of your certificate. So, friends, go get the certificate. It is useful now and will be useful in the future. In the future, social workers will definitely be required to hold a certificate, and it will become a completely mandatory requirement.

2. Work your way up to the director, deputy director-general, service director, agency director, etc.

Basically, these positions are at the top level of social work organizations. Compared with other front-line positions of social workers, these positions are basically mental output. They do not need to be on the front line and the salary is relatively high. They are mainly responsible for supervising, writing bids, taking projects, and making suggestions for the organization at the management level. Of course, with greater ability comes greater responsibility. Although the salary of these positions is relatively high, the requirements for people are also high. Basically, your work experience, academic qualifications and professional titles have relatively high requirements, so work hard, young man .

3. Be a supervisor!!!

To be a supervisor in China, you need to hold a certificate, which is a supervision certificate. To get a supervision certificate, you have to take a supervision class. But as long as you get a supervision certificate and an organization asks you to be a supervisor, your overall salary will basically be higher, and your working hours will be more flexible. Nowadays, the demand for social workers and supervisors in society is basically in short supply, so if you work hard to get a supervision certificate, your salary will be higher. Of course, when entering the Supervisory Office, you must first obtain the intermediate certificate and then think about it hahaha.

4. Find a specialty with a higher salary

Some specialties, such as being a disabled social worker or an anti-drug social worker, may have higher wages. You need to find this, and the rest It all depends on luck and fate.

I can’t think of anything else you can work hard on at the moment, or maybe get a diploma and go to school to become a social work teacher. There are not enough teachers in this area, and maybe the threshold will be lower.

2. What are the career prospects of social workers?

Regarding this question, I believe that except for those big guys who tell you that the social work industry is a rising industry, no one can tell you 100% about the career prospects of social workers, because it is really hard to say, so I will tell you here. point of view.

With the aging of the country and the advancement of poverty alleviation policies, the country is paying more and more attention to community work and encourages people to do research. The new policy promoted in Guangdong is actually that the government purchases social work positions, recruits social workers, and establishes its own system, and then arranges social workers to rural areas, towns, and remote areas outside of cities and towns. This is a good thing because social workers are really where they are supposed to be.

So, I think the prospects of social work can be briefly described in three points:

(1) The country may vigorously develop the social work industry in remote areas, rural areas, and townships. Because most of the people who need social workers are in these places, and the country may also encourage social workers in big cities to go home to work and serve the needy groups in their hometowns.

(2) Social workers may have the opportunity to accept direct recruitment from the government, that is, the government recruits social workers directly instead of through agencies.

After the gradual de-institutionalization, the government should re-formulate the social work system, which should also be a good thing for the majority of social workers.

(3) The social work certificate may become more and more important in the future, so hurry up and take the exam. The higher the exam, the better. The level of the social work certificate in the future will have a decisive impact on your treatment as a social worker.

This is my answer and reflection on your question based on my personal experience. Creation is not easy. If you find it useful, you can follow me and don’t forget to leave your precious like. Thank you. .
