Which Indiana cities have the most social work jobs?
Evansville, Indianapolis, and Indiana account for the largest share of social work openings in Indiana.

IU Health and Eskenazi Health also post entry-level care coordination and patient advocate roles that accept recent graduates. Completing your ASWB exam and obtaining your Licensed Social Worker credential as early as possible gives you a meaningful edge over unlicensed applicants.
