WHICH HARRY POTTER SOCIAL WORK HOUSE DO YOU BELONG IN? Ahh if only there was a Hogwarts for social workers… Well now’s your chance to take a turn under the Sorting Hat, and decide which Harry Potter house would best suit your social work skill set!

DO YOU RELISH A CHALLENGE? YOU COULD BE GRYFFINDOR! A Gryffindor social worker is drawn to fast-paced, intense roles, within child protection or mental health teams. They won’t think twice about working in hostile situations, and get a buzz from the uncertainty of social work. GRYFFINDOR SOCIAL WORKERS ARE ADEPT AT POSITIVE RISK TAKING AND WILL SUPPORT PEOPLE TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST. They thrive when working in situations where there is conflict, and adopt a confident persona which puts others around them at ease. Gryffindoors aren’t usually fans of planning, and prefer to be ‘thrown in at the deep end,’ figuring things out as they go. They are pragmatic and practical, can handle anything, and will be first to volunteer for tasks to help out their colleagues. When the pressure is on, you can count on a Gryffindor to lead through a crisis.
