• Career Specialist, your job is all about building trust and rapport with program participants while figuring out what makes them tick - their strengths, interests, and capabilities. Think of it like being a matchmaker for jobs - you create a personalized Family Contract Amendment (FCA) to help them reach their employment goals, both in the short and long term. But wait, there's more! You're not just a one-and-done kind of person. You get to meet with participants every month to check on their progress and help them stay on track. And if they ever miss an appointment, no worries - you're quick to reschedule and keep the momentum going. And let's not forget, you're basically a superhero in vocational rehabilitation! You make sure your participants have access to all the support they need by requesting services from external providers. Plus, you use data from our super fancy FedcapCARES program to plan out your tasks and make sure everything is running smoothly. Overall, you're a total pro who represents our human services nonprofit with style and grace. But the best part? You get to make a real difference in the lives of our community members, which is pretty darn awesome and fun! Expect a standard office schedule, with regular business hours from Monday to Friday
