Voluntarism involves unpaid charitable work done out of humanitarian values and conviction, whereas professional social work is a paid occupation that requires training and qualifications. Voluntary social workers are not paid and are not always formally qualified, but both spheres aim to benefit society. The key differences are that professional social work is a paid job treated as a regular occupation, while voluntary social work is unpaid and not usually a full-time role. Both forms of social work can address community needs.
