Job description

About Us

Vocational Rehabilitation Specialists Inc. (VRSI) is a nationally recognized provider of Veteran employment and rehabilitation services. With decades of experience delivering results through Department of Labor and VA-funded initiatives, our team uses Veteran-centric, trauma-informed, evidence-based practices to empower individuals to achieve career and educational goals.

As we prepare for national expansion under the federal Chapter 36 PCPG contract, we are building a roster of qualified Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors who can support service delivery in key U.S. cities.

Position Overview

This opportunity is available in two forms :

  • Independent Contractor (1099) : Flexible, project-based role ideal for professionals managing private practice or seeking supplemental income.
  • Limited W2 Direct Hire : In select areas, W2 employment may be offered based on regional demand and operational fit.

This position requires access to a private, professional space where Veterans can be seen in person, in compliance with VA contract requirements. Some services may be delivered virtually, but this is not a fully remote role.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct vocational assessments and develop Personalized Development Plans (PDPs)
  • Guide Veterans through career exploration, job search strategies, and training options
  • Leverage ROI and labor market insights to shape planning
  • Coordinate with VA teams, local service providers, and workforce partners
  • Maintain secure records in accordance with VA and federal guidelines
  • Deliver services in a trauma-informed, Veteran-first manner
  • Minimum Qualifications (Per VA Requirement)

    Must meet one of the following :

  • Master's Degree in rehabilitation counseling, psychology, social work, or related human services + 1 year of relevant experience
  • Bachelor's Degree in related field + 2 years of experience in employment counseling, case management, or workforce development
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working with Veterans, military-connected populations, or underserved communities
  • Knowledge of VA systems, employment programs, and case management
  • Ability to work autonomously and manage caseloads in the field
  • Create a job alert for this search
