LSW Jobs in Toms River, NJ

A Licensed Social Worker (LSW) is an integral part of the social service industry as they assist in the empowerment and liberation of individuals and communities. They are typically responsible for connecting clients with resources and support, providing therapy and counseling services, and advocating for client rights. LSWs work with different populations such as children, the elderly, people with disabilities, and those struggling with mental health issues. They may work in various settings including schools, hospitals, community centers, and government agencies.

A LSW should possess essential skills including strong interpersonal skills, problem-solving capabilities, and a deep understanding of ethical practices. Emotional intelligence and resilience are also crucial to handle stress and emotional demands of the work. They should hold a minimum of a bachelor's degree in social work (BSW), although many positions require a master's degree in social work (MSW). LSWs must also complete state-specific licensure exams to practice. Prior to becoming a LSW, individuals might have roles such as a Case Manager, Community Outreach Worker, or Mental Health Assistant to gain practical experience in the field.
