Abstract

The article focus the extent to which Portuguese Social Service is characterized in the following aspects: the Social Assistant performance and the subsidies to have professional practice; the knowledge of the social policies to consolidate citizenship, access to social rights as resistance to the reality of exclusion and unevenness, and how the knowledge about the societal transformations echo in professional quotidian. This exploratory research was done with two hundred ninety two Portuguese social assistants, in Lisbon, Portugal, and it was financed by CAPES. The objective is to share another reality besides the Brazilian one. The results point to some proximity with the Portuguese conception, and at the same time contradictions if compared to Brazilian Social Service.

Key words – Work process. Social policies. Societal transformations. Rights. Citizenship.
