first aid and quick response. They also help the victims recover from disasters and may provide
services for Post Traumatic conditions to traumatized victims (Moore, 2008). Other services,
which research concerning public safety covers, include search and rescue operations and relief
services.
Youth development and employment
Social services cover these areas by providing recreational and social programs for
teenagers and adolescents. They are also referred to as big sister/brother, youth clubs and after
school programs. Social service providers create these programs so as to occupy the young
vulnerable minds of the school leavers. They also keep them away from society and peer groups
influences like drug abuse. The social services provide employment opportunities through
employment agencies that assist to find and keep jobs. They also do job placements and
vocational rehabilitation for people with disabilities.
Common jobs for social service workers
In the different areas of the social worker, research shows the common fields that they
cover while providing such services. Direct work with clients makes the social workers
responsible for providing services offered by the organizations. Some of the researched jobs by
Tuchman, & Sarasohn, (2011) include:
Counselors and psychologists: Where workers provide the client with a diagnosis for mental and
emotional disorders in a specialty.

rewarding and challenging. Suitability on the job, just like any other, matters on the individual
and the environment in which they operate. They help other people improve their lives and get
the satisfaction on seeing the results over time. They are dramatic and show how much people
can accomplish when they get professional help. As Parrillo (2008) says, anyone who expects big
results within a short period is asking a lot from people who had no support. Human service
workers tend to build relationships with their clients out of concern and the desire to help.
However, even when aware of this, clients do not always express gratitude or appreciate.
With the growth of United States population, Taylor (2010) the demand for human
service agencies goes up. The available financial resources to these organizations do not grow as
quickly as the demand for services. This increases competition among the agencies as they seek
funding from the same donors. Social service workers may often get asked to provide additional
resources to meet some of the expenses.
