POSITION SUMMARY

The Employment Specialist serves as a dedicated advocate and subject matter expert for individuals with disabilities navigating their employment journey. This role provides comprehensive, person-centered support across the full employment continuum—from initial intake and career planning through job development, on-the-job training, benefits navigation, and long-term work-life sustainability. Operating as an active member of an integrated, multidisciplinary team, the Employment Specialist collaborates with clinicians, vocational rehabilitation counselors, case managers, social workers, and other support providers to ensure each job seeker receives coordinated, holistic services designed to help them obtain, maintain, and advance in meaningful employment.

Negotiate job carving, customized employment arrangements, and reasonable accommodations as appropriate.

3. On-the-Job Training & Supports

Provide on-site job coaching and skills training to support successful job performance and workplace integration.
Facilitate natural supports and co-worker mentoring to reduce reliance on direct staff intervention over time.
Transport individuals to and from job sites, interviews, and work-related appointments as needed.
Monitor job retention and proactively address challenges to support long-term employment success.

4. Benefits Navigation

Connect individuals with certified Benefits Counselors and other specialized resources for complex benefits planning.
Stay current with SSA policy changes and communicate relevant updates to the team and job seekers.

5. Barrier Reduction & Work-Life Management

Identify and address barriers to employment including, but not limited to, transportation, childcare, professional attire, interview confidence, and housing instability.
Connect job seekers to community resources, financial assistance programs, and wrap-around supports that promote stability and work readiness.
Provide coaching and skill-building in areas such as workplace communication, time management, and professional conduct.
Support individuals in building self-advocacy skills to independently navigate their employment journey over time.

6. Multidisciplinary Team Collaboration

Function as the employment services subject matter expert within an integrated team of clinicians, VR counselors, case managers, and social workers.
Participate actively in team meetings, case conferences, and collaborative goal-setting to ensure coordinated service delivery.
Communicate job seeker progress, concerns, and milestones in a timely manner to relevant team members.
Develop and maintain strong working relationships with Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) counselors and state agency partners.
