Entry Level Social Work Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level social work job?
Entry level social work employers look for completed field placement hours, a relevant bachelor's or master's degree in social work, and familiarity with case management or client documentation. Candidates who can show direct client contact experience from internships, practicum rotations, or volunteer work have a clear edge. Tailoring your resume to highlight specific populations you have worked with, such as youth, older adults, or families in crisis, also strengthens your application.
Which companies hire entry level social works?
Companies hiring entry level social works right now include Stanford Medicine Children's Health, Crown Equipment, and Metropolitan State University of Denver, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from community health organizations, government agencies, school districts, and nonprofit service providers who regularly onboard new graduates into supervised roles.
Are there remote entry level social work jobs?
Yes, though most positions at this level are still on-site given the hands-on nature of the work. About 20% of entry level social work openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, with those roles most often found in case management, care coordination, or telephone-based counseling support rather than direct in-person services.
Are these new grad social work jobs?
Yes, the listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior roles designed for people early in their social work career. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or supervised practicum hours toward requirements, or explicitly states that a strong academic background or volunteer history can substitute for paid work experience.
Which industries hire the most entry level social works?
Entry Level social work roles concentrate in Education, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Government & Public Sector, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Those sectors drive the most entry level hiring because they rely on a steady pipeline of new graduates to fill frontline case management, crisis intervention, and client support positions that require direct practice skills over seniority.
