    The Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC), School of Education, is seeking to hire a Reentry Supported Employment Specialist who will assist individuals with disabilities who are transitioning out of a juvenile correctional facility in locating and maintaining competitive, integrated employment.


    Established in 1983, the Virginia Commonwealth University RRTC provides resources for professionals, individuals with disabilities, and their representatives.

    Our team of nationally and internationally renowned researchers is committed to developing and advancing evidence-based practices to increase the hiring and retention of individuals with disabilities.

    General Duties: Qualified applicants will engage in business development designed to establish business partnerships for the promotion of employment of people with disabilities. The Reentry Supported Employment Specialist will provide direct services and supports to individuals on job sites, to assist the employee with a disability in achieving independence in their employment. Services and supports are individualized, and may be required to work on evenings and weekends to accommodate consumers' schedules. This position is a field position and requires an organized self-starter who enjoys making connections in their community. Business Connections serves Richmond and the surrounding areas. Candidates may be required to cover internship-to-employment projects in Richmond, Hanover, Henrico, Chesterfield, Hampton, Petersburg, or Newport News. The Reentry Supported Employment Specialist typically works independently or as a member of a team. They work under limited supervision, resolving most standard to moderately complex issues independently and referring highly complex or unique issues to a high level. When deciding where to work, VCU is a great choice because of the career opportunities, a wide variety of benefits available to you and your family, a generous leave package that can be used how you see fit, various discounts within the community, and a diverse and inclusive culture that wants to promote your well-being.

    Required Qualifications:

    Demonstrated experience working in and fostering a diverse faculty, staff, and student environment or commitment to do so as a staff member at VCU;
    Demonstrated experience working with individuals with disabilities;
    Demonstrated experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma;
    Above average verbal and written communication skills;
    Ability to build community partnerships;
    Proven ability to carry out job duties in a professional manner, with a positive outlook and approach;
    Ability to work with sensitive information and maintain confidentiality;
    Computer proficiency in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
    A valid driver's license.

    Preferred Qualifications:

    Experience working with individuals with disabilities in areas of community, integrated, competitive employment;
    Experience with or interest in working with young people who are justice-system-involved;
    Familiarity with Virginia businesses and community resources.
