The Human Service Worker

Within any successful team, you will find leaders, it need not be the manager, and it doesn’t have to be the same person all the time, you only have to look at any successful sports team to see that there are numerous leaders and within the team each person knows the role they have to perform at any set moment and can change as the situation needs. This has been well explained in the Belbin Team Architecture.

As a human service worker some basic skill that I would assist a client would be helping them to be more self-sufficient through learning new skills. I would also recommend them to different resource that would assist them as they work to overcome setbacks in life.

A good plan of action would be put in place after the client have been evaluated according to his or her disorder for helping with assistance or coordinating certain services that are put in place for a client needs. I would also provide emotional support to foster a good working relationship in order for my client to feel comfortable when discussing their problems

Working in Education and Human Service careers means that we will be working with other people, some who might end up seeming rude. I agree with what the doctor said, I cannot assume someone is trying to be rude. As a teacher, I cannot take rude students or parents personally. I especially cannot react like the receptionist Ericka who was crying. I have to remain calm, even when I feel like someone is trying to be hostile or rude. The same situation might happen between future students of mine. Misunderstandings can easily occur between students that are in elementary school. A student might become upset because they believe a classmate was being rude, but the classmate might not have even been trying to come across as rude.

The selection of a team leader is of key decision that can have a great impact on the overall success of a team. A good team leader should be able to build and maintain team morale, instilling confidence and trusting in other team members allowing them to work together to achieve the teams goals (Llopis, 2014). The ability to understand the stages of a team and provide the guidance to all members is essential. The stages of forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning (Abudi, 2010) are a helpful framework for recognizing patterns during team conversations and the understanding that team development may not always be linear. The aptitude to walk the team through these stages and ensuring they understand the development of the team and why things are happening in certain ways is an important part of the self evaluation process. Having ways to identify when certain behavioral patterns are occurring and a way to then cause changes to the team behavior can help the team maximize its productivity.

Working with abuse and neglect children is a reward to the children. Children that are abuse and neglect will love to see that someone in the world do care for them. I have heard many conversation about how human service workers have help different abuse and neglect children. Later on in life the children got in touch with them and let the human service workers know they were bless to have them come into there life to help them during the time they was in need. How amazing is that to be appreciated ?

In the Human Service Profession, we are commonly tasked with helping clients who face a multitude of issues and working with these clients to come up with and implement intervention plans to address these issues. Here I will work with a client named Teresa, addressing the current issue she is facing, the barriers keeping her from resolving this issue, and implement an intervention plan to help her to ultimately overcome this issue like she has already overcome so many other issues, so she can continue to grow as an individual, and as a mother.

Human service workers are required to use a variety of skills. The most important skills for this position are interpersonal and communication because they directly deal with the people with various problem. If you have a good command on these skills, you should mention that to your interviewer. You state that they require a Bachelor’s degree with 4-year experience for the care coordinator outreach & enrollment specialist position at the Community Access Inc. Most of the time these types of jobs require a practical experience with the clients. Do Community Access Inc provide internship programs? If they do, you can have the fieldwork experience from them before going for job interview after completing your degree. (BLS. p.30-31). That’s how

In this paper I will write from the point of view of a human service professional in his last job in the field, as director and supervisor of a Daily Reporting Center (DRC), that serves the needs of individuals who have recently been released from serving time in a state prison.

During the course of her two journey as a fellow student part of the Management and Leadership (Healthcare Concentration) Bachelor of Arts program, Ms. Sams has truly demonstrated how the role of teamwork relates; to team members working together to strategically develop and accomplish a shared goal amongst themselves.

Many organizations around the world apply team-based structures in order to achieve their goals.

When developing effective work teams, it is crucial to know the difference between a mere group and an actual team. A work group exists simply for the members of the group to share information and help each other perform their own individual responsibilities. Work groups are all about individual contributions instead of team effort, and thus the group is no greater than each individual’s personal input.
