Omega Health·King George County, Virginia
The Vocational Counselor acts as a matchmaker between clients and local businesses while providing on-site coaching to support workplace social skills. They also educate employers on reasonable accommodations and manage client progress through cloud-based documentation tools.
Why This Role Matters 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—including veterans, individuals with autism, and those with developmental challenges—deserves the independence and dignity that comes with a paycheck. We aren't just looking for an employee; we’re looking for a dedicated community advocate. If you believe that everyone deserves a seat at the table and you have the drive to make it happen, this is your invitation to join our mission.
