Active Social Worker

U.S. Army Social Workers use their skills to enhance unit readiness and the well-being of Soldiers and their families. If you are a practicing professional as a social worker and want to combine your specialized skills with the desire to serve your Nation's heroes, a career as an Army Social Worker might be the one for you.

As a social worker for the U.S. Army or Army Reserve, you will provide direct services to help improve the mental well-being of our Soldiers and their families. Your role involves teaching, training, supervision, research, administration, crisis intervention, and policy development in evolving situations. Through this work, you will promote unit readiness and emotional well-being for Soldiers, their family members, and Department of the Army civilians. You will also attend trainings, continued education programs, seminars, and conferences to collaborate on new ideas and broaden your knowledge on best practices in the field of social work.

If you choose to join the Army Reserve, you will be able to serve your country as needed while continuing to support your community. Whether you choose Active Duty service or Army Reserve, a career as a U.S. Army Social Worker allows you to be the best you can be.

When you join the Army Medical Service Corps, you'll be making a difference in the lives of our Soldiers and the country at large while gaining access to invaluable opportunities, like supporting humanitarian missions, leadership training, and a competitive benefit package.
