About attractiveness of Yokohama-shi social welfare profession

Ward Office Elderly and Disabled Support Division Disability Support Staff

I was born in another prefecture and did not have a direct connection to Yokohama City, but at a briefing session during job hunting, I learned that Yokohama has been recruiting social welfare jobs for many years and that there are many seniors. I was fascinated by the fact that there was an environment where I could "learn" while working, and I wanted to work in Yokohama. 。

children's guidance office has many social workers and works together. There is an emergency response, and it can be difficult or troubled, but it is encouraging to have an environment where you can support each other and work while following and consulting each other.
In addition, other occupations such as clerical, psychological, and medical occupations also belong, so we share opinions from each perspective and work on the work as a team.

The first life support section provides consultation support for living, from the calculation of protection costs to consultation support related to living, and at the current workplace, determines disability welfare services and provides medical treatment as mental health welfare consultation.
Since the content of the work in charge changes due to the transfer, it is necessary to learn the system etc. and feel difficult.
However, more than that, there are many things that can be used in the current workplace, such as how to respond and work that I learned in my previous workplace, and my learning as a social worker has deepened. I feel once again that changing and adapting to a new environment has led to my growth.

During the transfer, I was assigned to a workplace that was different from the first workplace, and there was anxiety and aspiration that I had to learn work again from scratch.
However, there are many things in common with work attitudes, such as the process of thinking about support from assessments, and I was able to use my experience to work on my work.
You can also use the knowledge you have gained in your previous workplace to think about ways to provide support, so I think that you will increase your withdrawal by experiencing work in various fields through transfer.

In support, I can share my feelings with the other person, and when the situation improves even a little, I feel joy and rewarding. Sometimes it doesn't work, but it's often your own experience by feeding it.
In addition, we always value "reference". I encounter a variety of life through my work. Sometimes you may face difficulties that you have never experienced in your life.
Yes, there is.
I try to accurately estimate the feelings of each person and respond while objectively omitting one's own behavior.

For those involved, I would like to provide support so that they can become “seeds” that act in a slightly better direction.
Especially in children's guidance office, there are times when it is necessary to take measures that are not in line with the will of the individual or family, but when the family thinks about ways to improve the environment surrounding the child, it feels rewarding when the child smiles.
I always realize the importance of continuing to face the other person sincerely at all times, and always looking back on my own way and working on my work while improving myself.
