Social Work Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a social work in Florida?

To work as a licensed social worker in Florida, you must hold a degree from a CSWE-accredited program and obtain licensure through the Florida Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Mental Health Counseling. Bachelor's-level graduates can register as a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern, while master's-level graduates pursue the LMSW and eventually the LCSW after completing supervised clinical hours and passing the ASWB exam.

How much do social works make in Florida?

Social works in Florida earn a median of about $64,820 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $45,760 for the lowest 10% to over $88,470 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire social works in Florida?

Employers hiring social works in Florida right now include Baptist Health South Florida, Sarasota Memorial Hospital, and University of North Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Florida's large public health systems, child welfare agencies, and nonprofit behavioral health networks are among the most consistent sources of full-time social work openings across the state.

Which Florida cities have the most social work jobs?

The cities with the most social work openings in Florida are Miami, Tallahassee, and Jacksonville. Miami leads due to its concentration of large hospital systems, multilingual behavioral health nonprofits, and county child welfare programs, while Orlando and Tampa generate volume through regional health networks and the state's largest public human services agencies.

Are there remote social work jobs in Florida?

Yes, but they're less common than in purely desk-based fields because much of social work involves in-person client contact, home visits, and court appearances. About 30% of social work openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, so options do exist. Telehealth therapy, care coordination, and utilization review roles are the positions most likely to offer remote or hybrid schedules.

How can I get hired as a social work in Florida with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for case aide, family support specialist, or child protective investigator trainee roles with the Florida Department of Children and Families, which regularly recruits candidates without prior social work experience. Large Florida health systems like AdventHealth and BayCare also hire bachelor's-level social work graduates into care coordination and discharge planning assistant roles. Completing a field placement at a Florida agency during your degree program is one of the strongest ways to earn a hire, since many Florida employers extend offers to their own interns.

Where can I find and apply to social work jobs in Florida?

You can find and apply to social work jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers actively hiring across the state. Find roles that fit your experience and credentials and apply directly from each listing.
