Social Worker Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a social worker in Georgia?
To become a licensed social worker in Georgia, you must apply through the Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Social Workers, and Marriage and Family Therapists. A Bachelor of Social Work from a CSWE-accredited program qualifies you for the Licensed Bachelor Social Worker credential, while a Master of Social Work is required for the Licensed Master Social Worker or Licensed Clinical Social Worker designations. Clinical licensure also requires supervised post-graduate hours and passing the ASWB examination.
Which companies hire social workers in Georgia?
Employers hiring social workers in Georgia right now include Thriveworks, Piedmont Healthcare, and Georgia Hospice Care, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Georgia's large public hospital systems, state child welfare agencies, and community behavioral health centers are among the most consistent sources of full-time social work positions across the state.
Which Georgia cities have the most social worker jobs?
Atlanta, Lawrenceville, and Augusta have the most social worker openings in Georgia. Atlanta dominates hiring volume because of its concentration of hospital systems, state agency headquarters, and nonprofit organizations, while Augusta and Savannah draw openings through their regional medical centers, Veterans Affairs facilities, and county human services offices serving surrounding communities.
Are there remote social worker jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're rare. Social work is largely a field-based profession involving home visits, in-person assessments, and direct client contact, which limits remote work by nature. About 72% of social worker openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in utilization review, telephonic case management, and certain administrative or supervisory roles.
How can I get hired as a social worker in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a case aide, social services technician, or family support specialist role with the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services, which regularly hires candidates with a bachelor's degree and no prior social work experience. Wellstar Health System and Grady Health System also post entry-level social work assistant positions that accept new graduates. Completing a supervised field practicum in Georgia during your degree and sitting for the ASWB Bachelor's exam early gives candidates a measurable edge in competitive applicant pools.
Where can I find and apply to social worker jobs in Georgia?
You can find and apply to social worker jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state right now. Search the listings, find roles that fit your experience and credentials, and apply directly.
