I work at an agency of over 500 social workers, and none of them have assistants.

The only assistants that I know a social worker has is possibly a secretary. You might be able to get some sort of internship but that's it.

There are places that use social worker assistants . You need a BSW or if really motivated a MSW. It is thought that the number of people who are in the "baby boomer" era age that there will be an increase of needed social workers to help fill the gap of an increased work load. I would perhaps see about a job (for the experience) in a local hospital or long term nursing facility.I do wish you all the best and don't let anyone tell you there is no chance. People like you are needed!
