O trabalho do assistente social na Política de Assistência Social: análise do Censo SUAS 2023 relacionado aos CRAS de Juiz de Fora

Abstract

This course completion work analyzes the professional performance of social workers, based on data from the 2022 and 2023 SUAS Census, in Juiz de Fora/MG. To this end, it highlights the Social Assistance Policy, based on a brief review of its construction. It presents central elements of politics, with emphasis on its processes of ruptures and continuities. It relates the work of social workers to broader transformations in the world of work, which have intensified the processes of precariousness and flexibility. The research was developed in two stages: bibliographic study and analysis of data made available by the SUAS Census. As a result, we realized that the formulation of the Unified Social Assistance System is of fundamental importance in organizing services in a decentralized manner, promoting a more effective response to local demands. However, this implementation faces several challenges. A possible path seems to us to be the articulation of municipal management with social assistance, investing in professional training, linked to adequate financing, contributing to the construction of better working conditions for professionals involved in social assistance policy.
