Summary/Abstract: Reconciling work and family life is becoming a challenge today. Preparation for fulfilling social roles, including professional and family roles, is not only theoretical. The dimension of everyday combining of these two areas becomes particularly important today. The aim of this article is to present the profile of a social worker in terms of reconciling professional and family roles, especially in terms of the impact of work on the fulfillment of family roles. It also examines the level of job satisfaction, stress and whether the conditions of work organization have an influence on the family functioning of social workers. It was also considered how the experience of working with social welfare clients translates into the functioning of the social workers’ own family. As the presented research shows, professional work influences the reconciliation of professional and family roles of social workers. Respondents point to the reference from professional work, the experience of providing support and help to families with multiple problems, on the functioning of their own family.
