Andoletta, AKA 'Grandmother Crow' is very much about this as well.
Andoletta (pronounced an-do-LET-ah), also known as Grandmother Crow, is one of the powerful archons known as an empyreal lord. She treats her flock as any grandmother would, protecting the innocent, reprimanding the wayward, and punishing the sinful.

I think I'd have to go with Sarenrae also.
Everyone deserves a second chance, compassion, and of course being of good alignment in the first place.
Although I think it would be amusing to say Asmodeus. I could see Asmodean priests enjoying the bureaucracy of social work.
If you are worthy and driven toward self-actualization you can embrace the power of Asmodeus and if not you can become a slave to those more worthy.

Hah! I once played a paladin of Lathander in the Forgotten Realms who was all about those concepts and the social betterment of mankind.
In Golarion, I can't think of any deity that is specifically social work oriented, but if I were to operate something like that in a game of mine it would be a joint faith initiative between Sarenrae and Abadar. Sort of like a special clerical order arranged between the two faiths.
The Order of the Bleeding Heart. Or something.

Less snarky version of the above: Rahadoum's Laws of Man may appeal to more than a few of them.
"Man has himself as his only friend and his only enemy." - Hindu proverb
Also, let me protest the earlier suggestion of Abadar as candidate for this role: He would say that the system as is is the best system there can possibly be, and therefore the lots it doles out shouldn't be tinkered with - social workers are proof that that's not true.

The law of men... hum. Thanks.
As for your Interpreation of abadar. Some vision of social works said the problem is essently that. They are outside of the system and we need to reinstate them. So it is possible. But i concur with you are saying.
As for Abadar, I would argue that marginalisation and the fight against this is part of his vision of civilisation.
I mean... He did take out a priest of his power because he had hurt a chaotic city by trying a coup for bringning more order to it. (pathfinder tales exemple.)
But... we are in the domain of roleplaying game so the only real power is the gm.
