Social Worker Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a social worker in Arizona?
To become a licensed social worker in Arizona, you must apply through the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners, which issues four license levels: LBSW, LSW, LMSW, and LCSW. A bachelor's degree in social work qualifies you for the LBSW, while a master's degree opens the LMSW and, after supervised clinical hours, the LCSW. Most clinical positions require passing the Association of Social Work Boards exam at the appropriate level before licensure is granted.
Which companies hire social workers in Arizona?
Employers hiring social workers in Arizona right now include Tucson Medical Center, Hospice of the Valley (AZ), and DaVita, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Arizona's large integrated health systems and state agencies account for a significant share of openings, particularly in behavioral health, child welfare, and hospital-based care coordination.
Which Arizona cities have the most social worker jobs?
Tucson, Phoenix, and Tempe have the most social worker openings in Arizona. The Phoenix metro drives the largest share of listings because it hosts the state's biggest hospital systems, the Arizona Department of Child Safety headquarters, and a dense network of behavioral health providers, while Tucson's openings are concentrated around Banner University Medical Center and the University of Arizona Health Network.
Are there remote social worker jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're limited. Social work frequently involves in-person home visits, court appearances, and direct client contact, which keeps most roles on-site or in the field. About 55% of social worker openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of August 2026. The positions most likely to offer remote or telehealth components are utilization review, care coordination, and outpatient counseling roles with established behavioral health organizations.
How can I get hired as a social worker in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is applying for a case aide, family support specialist, or youth care worker role, which Arizona employers like the Department of Child Safety and Chicanos Por La Causa use as feeder positions into licensed social work tracks. Banner Health and Valleywise Health run social work internship and new-graduate programs that pair students with licensed supervisors. Completing your LBSW or beginning the supervised-hours requirement for your LMSW while in an entry-level role accelerates the transition considerably.
Where can I find and apply to social worker jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to social worker jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings for roles that match your license level, specialty, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
