If you can get an employer to sponsor you, Europe is nice. In the Nordics if you stick to a capital city, you should have no problem using english for almost anything, and for everything else, there are translation apps.
A social worker would probably have to learn the local language anywhere they go, it’s a less transferable profession imo.

You’d make it more or less anywhere. At least here in Sweden, English has been a core subject since 1952/1953. That’s over 70 years of mandatory English education.
Some people struggle a little because they never used it, but as a foreigner, usually you end up struggling to speak anything but English. Lots of immigrants complain that they can’t learn Swedish because the moment someone clocks that they’re not a native speaker, they switch to English.
