About The Position

The Mission There is a massive gap between "having a disability" and "having a career." At Omega Health Services , we bridge that gap. We are a CARF-accredited leader dedicated to the radical idea that everyone—Veterans, individuals with Autism, and those with developmental challenges—deserves the independence that comes with a paycheck. We aren't just looking for an employee; we’re looking for a community advocate. A Day in the Life of a VC As a Vocational Counselor, you aren't stuck behind a desk. You are the "boots on the ground" catalyst for success. The Matchmaker: You’ll pair our consumers with local businesses, helping them navigate everything from the first interview to their first promotion. The Bridge: You’ll educate employers on assistive technology and reasonable accommodations, turning "barriers" into "solutions." The Coach: You’ll provide 1-on-1 on-site support, teaching workplace social skills and helping coworkers become "natural supports" for our consumers. The Strategist: You’ll use tools like Asana and Google Suite to track progress, document success, and collaborate with the Person-Centered Planning (PCP) team.
