A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN EMPLOYMENT SPECIALIST / CASE MANAGER As an Employment Specialist / Case Manager in human services, you are responsible for establishing trust with our program participants by serving as a job coach. You conduct comprehensive intakes with our participants to understand their needs, strengths, interests, aptitudes, experiences, and capabilities.

You maintain exceptional record-keeping as well as make requests for support services in accordance with our policies to help participants successfully accomplish their FCA. If a participant misses an appointment, you reach out to them and help them reschedule. Using your strong customer service skills, you also maintain communication with the medical and behavioral providers of your participants to access important information. At times, you run reports through our FedcapCARES program and use that data to plan daily and weekly tasks. You sometimes work with a targeted caseload that focuses on a specific group, such as two-parent families or individuals enrolled in higher education. No matter what you're working on, you always uphold a professional manner to represent our nonprofit in a positive light. You find great satisfaction in knowing that your hard work has such a direct positive impact on the lives of our clients, which is why you thrive in this case management position!
