Карьерные перспективы по завершению программы обучения "Social Work – Focus on Health Promotion and Prevention"

With the completion of this course, a wide range of professional fields is offered. All areas are open that require a university degree in social work or social pedagogy. This also applies expressly to those occupational fields that are not clearly related to health. The abundance of professional fields in social work without obvious health relevance is so large that it can only be outlined here in brief. It includes the social services of local authorities, facilities and services for child and youth welfare, open child and youth work, youth vocational and youth court assistance, school career and school social counseling, work with people with disabilities, housing and job offers for people with disabilities, rehabilitation measures, Advisory services for the providers of free welfare, neighborhood and community work, probation assistance, adult education, leisure education, debt counseling, corporate social work, development cooperation and work with people with a migration background or with people on the run.

In addition to this broad qualification, graduates are particularly qualified for all areas of health-related social work: In the municipal area, this applies, for example, to the social services of the health authorities, most of the areas of the social services (e.g. AIDS prevention, addiction prevention, pregnancy counseling, home supervision) , psychosocial care, job seekers, senior citizens' help), sports, school and youth welfare offices, all areas of senior citizens' work (e.g. senior citizens' representatives, overall concepts for senior citizens), working with self-help groups, the work of health conferences and health regions as well as the public health service, local health policy and health reporting. Significant areas of counseling and support services provided by independent or church charities are also clearly health-related.

A large field of activity within health-related social work is social work in the health system, which is the second largest employer for social workers after youth welfare. In general, this includes the clinical social services of all clinics and treatment facilities, in particular outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation clinics and health clinics, because - unlike in acute care clinics - apart from medical and therapeutic care, reintegration into professional and private life and dealing with (possibly new) chronic illness or disability is an essential part of the treatment. As specialized clinical services, early intervention and social pediatrics, addiction prevention, psychiatry, oncology, hospice work and palliative care, as well as geriatrics, require particularly strong support from social work.

In addition to the clinics, service providers for outpatient and inpatient care as well as facilities for people with disabilities represent a comprehensive field of activity, where they are used in particular in social care and advice, family and network work as well as in care and case management. There are also corresponding occupational fields in the education sector, such as health education in kindergartens and schools, at adult education centers or with independent educational institutions, as well as in teaching at (vocational) technical schools and vocational academies.

Finally, a broad and - not least against the background of the Prevention Act that came into force in 2015 - a growing range of primarily health-related occupational fields should be mentioned, for which the combination of health and social work expertise will be a sought-after qualification, for example in the prevention and health promotion area of ​​health insurance companies and insurers, with service providers in the healthcare industry and in corporate healthcare. There is also a wide range of non-municipal authorities and offices, as well as foundations and associations with health and social relevance.
