SUMMARY:

 This thesis aimed to analyze how the precariousness of work in contemporary capitalism is configured in the Brazilian Social Assistance Policy. In this sense, we seek to understand the main impacts on the working conditions and relations of those who work in this social policy in the Western Seridó region of Rio Grande do Norte (RN). Some themes were highlighted for this analysis, such as: the mutations in the world of work, contractual relationships, the sociosexual and racial division of labor, and the repercussions of the precariousness of work in the face of the health crisis, installed with Covid-19. Methodologically, the analyses constructed in this study were based on the investigation of the concrete determinations of the objective, through field, documentary and bibliographic research. Three variables were central to the unveiling of the phenomenon studied: the groupings by municipalities in the referred region, the professional categories of higher education (Social Work, Psychology and Pedagogy) and the differentiation of contractual employment relationships in the SUAS. As a central result, it was possible to identify that the intensification of the precariousness of work (which affects, for example, the fragility of contractual employment relationships) triggered, in the particularity of the Seridó Norte-rio-grandense, what we call the distortion of Social Assistance. In view of this, it was possible to identify the sharpening of illnesses (stress, anxiety), as a result of the working conditions and relationships that these professionals are inserted in the SUAS in the Seridó Potiguar region; as well as dissatisfaction with the performance of the activities and, consequently, the absence of conditions to perform them; the lack of structure that allows professional secrecy; the (over) work overload of SUAS workers in relation to the care of unpaid reproductive work. Finally, we conclude that the workers who work in the contractual employment relationships, in the commissioned modality, are the ones who experience the scenarios of greater intensification of the precariousness of work, emphasizing that this portion of workers is mostly composed of social workers.
