SUMMARY:

 

This research on professional work in social assistance in the current Brazilian context focuses on the analysis of the attributions and competences of professional categories participating in the teams of the Unified Social Assistance System (SUAS) services. To guide it, we established the following research problems: How is the provision of services in equipment of the National Social Assistance Policy (PNAS) in Brazil organized? How is the technical division of labor defined at SUAS and the definition of requisitions and professional attributions? Considering the attributions and competences, what are the specificities and generalizations present in the professional work of professional categories included in the SUAS? The general objective of the research was to analyze the particularities of the attributions and professional competences of categories inserted in the social and technical division of work in SUAS, specifically in Social Work, Psychology and Occupational Therapy. Methodologically, we carried out documentary and field research. In the first one, we analyzed official documents from the PNAS, which present guidelines on teamwork at SUAS, and others produced by the three investigated professions, which dealt with the work of their professionals in social assistance. In the field research, we interviewed social workers, psychologists and occupational therapists working in reference teams of a Reference Center for Social Assistance and three Specialized Reference Centers for Social Assistance, located in Maceió/AL and Vitória/ES, as well as the coordinations of these locations.  The data produced by these strategies were analyzed and discussed based on the theoretical framework of a Marxist basis, adopting as a presupposition the understanding that the social professions derive from the process of specialization of work in capitalism, with professional work inserted in the social and technical division. from work. The results showed that although there is an attempt by the professions to delimit specificities, not always defended as private attributions, a lack of differentiation of professional attributions prevails. The explanatory thesis defended in this work is that this phenomenon is mediated by three broader social vectors, external to the professions themselves, namely: the institutional definitions and characteristics of the PNAS; the intensification of the precariousness of work and public social services in the current conjuncture; and the ways in which teamwork is organized at SUAS. As for the definitions of the PNAS, in addition to the diffuse feature of its demands, we highlight the fact that the policy, by resorting to the generic name of reference technician, leaves open the definition of the particular attributions of the categories recognized by CNAS Resolution no. 17/2011. This lack of definition of professional attributions, in the daily life of social assistance equipment, not only feeds back a fetishized discourse on teamwork, supported by interdisciplinarity formulations, but also establishes forms of work organization that become functional to the precarious logic of social services that operate with reduced teams. We conclude that the confluence of these three vectors results in a predominant generic character in professional work at SUAS.
