There are social work jobs which take place in a family environment, including working with children in care or children who have trouble in school, as well as families who are struggling with financial or housing difficulties. There are also medical social work jobs which concentrate on the physical wellbeing of those who are leaving hospital, have a long-term or debilitating illness, or who have suffered a life-altering injury. The third category of social work jobs in the UK are those which deal with mental health issues, which can range from a clinical diagnosis to substance abuse or eating disorders.
