Vocational Rehabilitation Services - What is VRS and how is it different to other services?

• Assessment – How the disability or injury affects the client in the workplace.
• Development of Personal Intervention Plan - Understanding the injury or restrictions to develop strategies to improve the management of these challenges.
• Employment Preparation and Job Search – Facilitated access to vocational training, or work experience, while helping you find a job which matches your skills and work capacity

As you can see, the stages of support are not dissimilar from other programs in Employment Services, and people with experience in other complementary fields often slip straight into this sector. Candidates we have placed in this area have commented on the way this sector extends their knowledge and requires them to be more creative and think outside the box. Caseloads are typically smaller and require more focussed attention. Salaries are usually higher too! This is a rewarding and growing sector, so if you are interested in being considered for vacancies in this area, please contact the Marker Consulting office in your state.
