It may be possible to become a social worker after being convicted of a crime, but it depends on the nature of the crime, the specific job requirements, and the policies of the licensing board or employer. In some cases, certain convictions may disqualify individuals from obtaining a license or employment in the field of social work. It is important to research the specific regulations and guidelines in your area.
There are organizations that help convicted felons to find a job. There are not many opportunities in the nursing field as you can't be a felon to pass your nursing boards or even take the test.
No way a teacher. However, perhaps a Dr.
No, to be considered a social worker, you typically need a degree in social work or a related field, as well as a license or certification depending on the state's requirements. Having a minor in social work may be beneficial to work in related roles but may not qualify you as a licensed social worker.

You must have a license to do this and that may be a background check problem for a convicted felon.
Social worke is good job for sabhi.
The code of ethics for social workers requires that a worker have not engaged in unlawful or criminal acts, therefore all social workers are required to undergo a back ground check for felony convictions. So the answer would that I was told by the state of NY is no, unless the governor pardons a person. Sorry we will have to find another field, I chose certification mechanical it was one of the few fields that allow felons to work in. I am not sure as for the state of New York, but I know in the state of Ohio a convicted felon can become a social worker or counselor. I am currently working towards my masters in mental health counseling, and I will begin working with the advocacy office soon, because there will be some bumps to overcome to get there. However, I know at least two people whom did not get granted their pardons, and they were working social workers and a counselor. There are certain supervisions which apply, unfournately not being able to work with juveniles I am pretty sure is one, but it is possible as long as they can show new good character, and explain the cause of their lapse in judgement. But I am sure it takes a great deal of work and stress to get there!
It is very difficult for a convicted felon to get a job in the health care field due to the sensitive information and materials that they will have access to. There are several states that provide waivers so that convicted felons can work in health care, Illinois is one of those states.
There are a lot of social worker jobs available through the government. Check out: http://federalgovernmentjobs.us/job-group/social-science-psychology-and-welfare.html for more options in the field. You may want to look at your local county's job listings too.
If you work for an EOE (equal opportunity employer) there is a better chance of a convicted felon (serving prison time or not) to become employed in this field. There are no employers MANDATED or otherwise SUPERVISED in the criminal status of their employees. ONLY federaly mandated laws pertaining to national security and other similar orginazations (public or private) will REQUIRE (by law) a background check for these positions.
i'm not certain here but i'd imagine generalist means not specialised in a particular subject eg. Working with children or elderly or addicts et cetera exclusively, instead training for working in any field of social work.x
