Entry Level Social Worker Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level social worker job?
Focus on field experience first: supervised internships, practicum placements, and volunteer work in community or clinical settings are what entry level employers look for most. Tailor your resume to highlight client-facing hours, case documentation, and any relevant coursework. A bachelor's in social work is typically the minimum credential, and candidates who can show hands-on experience with a specific population, such as youth, seniors, or families, stand out at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level social workers?
Companies hiring entry level social workers right now include Presence, Optum, and Humana, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level covers nonprofit agencies, government human services departments, hospital systems, and community mental health organizations, all of which regularly bring on new and junior professionals.
Are there remote entry level social worker jobs?
Yes, though most social worker roles are on-site given the nature of direct client work. About 31% of entry level social worker openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and these tend to concentrate in care coordination, case management, and administrative support functions where in-person client contact is less frequent.
Are these new grad social worker jobs?
Yes, the roles listed here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior social worker positions. A posting is typically new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internship or practicum hours as qualifying experience, or accepts a portfolio of supervised field work in place of full-time employment history. Look for language like 'no experience required' or 'will train' as strong signals.
Which industries hire the most entry level social workers?
Entry Level social worker roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Education, and Insurance, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this level because they rely on large direct-service workforces and frequently recruit new graduates to fill frontline case management and community outreach positions.
