已核對條目

以社工職位執業,須向社會工作者註冊局註冊。主路徑是持有註冊局認可的社會工作學位或文憑。

社會服務呢個行業係點運作

非政府機構同政府部門嘅福利服務。社工必須在社會工作者註冊局註冊(分註冊社工同註冊社會工作者(立法)等類別),冇註冊唔可以叫社工;機構內嘅活動助理、程序幹事等前線崗位冇法定註冊,要求由機構自訂。

Welfare services delivered by NGOs and government departments. Social workers must be registered with the Social Workers Registration Board and may not call themselves social workers without it; frontline posts such as programme assistants or activity workers carry no statutory registration, and the hiring agency sets the terms.

工作性質 / Nature of the work

照顧與輔導 · 對人服務 · 管理與統籌 · Care and counselling · People-facing · Managing people and resources

呢份工嘅主要性質係:照顧與輔導 · 對人服務 · 管理與統籌。以下逐項講清楚實際係點做。

  • 照顧與輔導Care and counselling

    工作核心係照顧或支援特定人嘅身心需要(長者、病人、兒童、情緒受困者),要建立信任同保密。

    The core of the job is looking after or supporting someone’s physical or emotional needs — an older person, a patient, a child or someone in distress — which takes trust and confidentiality.

  • 對人服務People-facing

    大部分工作時間係同人打交道:客人、病人、學生、住戶或公眾,講求溝通、耐性同情緒管理。

    Most of the day is spent dealing with people — customers, patients, students, residents or the public — so communication, patience and emotional control matter.

  • 管理與統籌Managing people and resources

    除咗自己做,亦要編排人手、時間同資源,協調唔同單位,並承擔團隊成敗。

    Beyond doing the work yourself, you roster people, time and resources, coordinate between parties and answer for how the team performs.

註冊基本要求

社會工作者註冊局將註冊社工分為第1類同第2類:第1類主要係持有註冊局認可嘅社會工作學位或文憑,符合法定註冊資格直接申請;第2類適用於暫未持有第1類資格,但已經獲聘或者接納擔任社工職位嘅人士,要喺註冊局規定嘅合理時間內完成認可學歷,先可以轉為第1類註冊。無論係邊一類,都要每年續期同提交相關證明,維持有效註冊。

薪酬與晉升前景

社工嘅薪酬取決於僱主。社會福利署屬公務員職系,按公務員事務局公布嘅總薪級表支薪;非政府機構(NGO)就按機構自己嘅職級表,多數同政府薪級表掛鈎,實際水平視乎資助模式(整筆撥款抑或項目資助)同機構規模。所以同一個職銜,喺唔同機構可以有差別,本站唔列月薪估算;睇招聘時要問清楚職級對應嘅薪級、增薪安排、約滿酬金同強積金。 發展方向:前線社工 → 單位主管 → 服務督導/服務經理 → 機構高層管理;亦可以轉往社會政策研究同倡議工作。

Basic registration requirements

The Social Workers Registration Board divides registered social workers into two categories: Category 1 is for holders of a Board-recognised social work degree or diploma who meet the statutory requirements for direct registration. Category 2 is for those who do not yet hold Category 1 qualifications but have been employed or accepted for a social work post; they must complete the recognised qualification within the Board's specified timeframe to upgrade to Category 1. All registrants must renew their registration annually and submit required documentation to maintain valid status.

Salary and promotion prospects

Pay depends on the employer. The Social Welfare Department is a civil service grade paid on the Master Pay Scale published by the Civil Service Bureau, while NGOs follow their own grade structures, usually linked to the government scale and depending on the funding model (lump-sum grant or project funding) and the size of the organisation. The same job title can therefore be paid differently across organisations, so this site prints no monthly estimate; when reading an advertisement, ask which pay scale the grade maps to, how increments work, and about terminal gratuities and MPF. Career direction: frontline social worker → unit supervisor → service coordinator or service manager → senior management, or a move into social policy research and advocacy.

薪酬由邊個決定

社署按公務員事務局公布嘅總薪級表支薪;NGO 按機構職級表(多數與政府薪級表掛鈎,視乎資助模式)。本站不估算月薪。

The SWD follows the Civil Service Bureau's Master Pay Scale; NGOs follow their own grade structures, usually linked to the government scale and depending on the funding model. This site prints no monthly estimate.
