Who are we and what do we do?
Social Work Scotland is the professional body for social work managers and leaders. We are a membership body, with
members coming from across the public, private and voluntary sectors. We exist to promote and support the
development of the social work profession, and to influence and inform public policy affecting social workers,
social services and local communities.
Upholding the values which underpin the social work profession, we give importance to every individual’s experiences
and voice, and seek to make social justice real through all that we do. We embrace change and encourage
collaboration. We are committed to creating opportunities for our members and team through which individuals can
develop as compassionate, creative and effective leaders.
We particularly encourage applications from care experienced, disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic
candidates, as these groups are underrepresented throughout the social work profession.
