Summary/Abstract: The paper presents unpublished results of research on the creativity of professionals and the use of creative methods in centers for social welfare, which was conducted in late 2021. This paper presents the results of self-assessment of creativity of professionals in social welfare centers with regard to their socio-demographic characteristics. The aim of this paper is to determine and analyze the relationship between creativity in the work of professionals in centers for social work and their socio-demographic characteristics: age, length of service and type of profession. The paper contains research data conducted on a sample of 50 professionals employed in social work centers. The results showed that social workers are professionals who, in the highest percentage, are persistent in their work and use creative methods in their work in preventive work. The decrease in the use of creative methods in such work with the increase of the age of the respondents was identified, and the other obtained results are not statistically significant. The significance of this paper is in the empirical research of socio-demographic characteristics of professionals in the centers for social welfare and the actualization of the determinants of creativity of professionals and the use of creative methods in social work.
