In terms of working per week, I would speculate it's in the 40-60 hour per week range like many salaried jobs in the US.


Here are some answers in that range:

I have seen estimates below 40 hours per week, and as low as 20 hours, in terms of one-on-one consultations with social work clients (i.e. the people they help).


But this does not seem to include outside preparation time and other required job components like filling out paperwork, and I am not sure I trust those estimates since they seem low...
