Traveling Social Worker Qualifications
Social workers must have a bachelor's degree. Many employers also prefer these team members to have a master's in social work, but some may hire without requiring it. Additionally, some states require licenses to work as a social worker, so if you plan to travel to a specific state, ensure you check to see if it requires one.
When planning to work in medical facilities, it's best to have at least two years of experience working in a medical setting, such as a hospital case manager or similar position. Your field experience prepares you for the duties you'll perform during your travel social worker jobs. Also, having a certificate in case management could improve your chances of getting more high-paying assignments.
