A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION SPECIALIST - EMPLOYMENT COORDINATOR

As our amazing Vocational Rehabilitation Specialist - Employment Coordinator in human services, you build trust and rapport with program participants in our community.

You're quick to reach out and reschedule if they ever miss a scheduled appointment.

Additionally, you work with other external providers to make sure participants have access to whatever services and support they need. Running reports in our FedcapCARES program, you use the data you find to plan daily and weekly tasks. You're sure to follow up and provide support with tasks as needed. You always uphold our nonprofit's policies as you work. Knowing you're making a difference in our community fills you with gratitude and pride, which is why you're perfect for this vocational rehabilitation role in human services!
