Abstract: This article aims to reflect on the pedagogical dimension of professional practice within the social work on-call service. The reflections stem from the author’s experiences as a social worker at the Oswaldo Cruz University Hospital, in Recife. The investigation adopts a qualitative approach, based on the systematization of the author’s professional practice within the institution. Upon analyzing the developed actions, daily practice revealed the centrality of the pedagogical dimension in qualified listening, guidance on rights and duties, conflict mediation, and addressing the expressions of the social question in contexts of illness. The on-call service is highlighted as a highly relevant formative space, both for users and for residents and supervised interns, reaffirming the ethical-political commitment of Social Work to critical education, the strengthening of citizenship, and the defense of the rights of users of the Brazilian Unified Health System. The analysis enabled the understanding that, even in the face of urgent demands and limited resources, it is possible to promote educational actions that foster the empowerment of individuals. The on-call social service, by articulating reception, intervention, and guidance, constitutes a powerful space of mutual learning, where technical knowledge intertwines with the everyday knowledge of users. It is concluded that this pedagogical dimension, present in daily praxis, significantly contributes to the consolidation of the principles of the Brazilian Unified Health System, representing a concrete expression of the ethical-political project of Social Work in the field of health.
