CV keywords for social workers

There are too few open social worker adverts right now to count reliably, so this page gives the written guidance only. Check back: new adverts arrive every morning.

What social workers are asked for

Social work adverts ask for SACSSP registration, the field (child protection, substance abuse, community work), statutory experience and a driver's licence.

Put your SACSSP registration first, with your degree.
Name the field and the work: foster care placements, court reports under the Children's Act, caseload size.
State your licence code: many posts involve home visits.

How these are counted

Honde reads South African job boards, employers' careers pages and government vacancy circulars every morning. This page takes the open adverts whose titles match the role, newest first (up to 1,000), and counts how many mention each term from a list we keep per role, as a whole word or phrase, once per advert. The counts are refreshed every hour. A term missing from the list can still matter: always read the advert you are applying for.
