Join an empowered team that is making a difference in our community!

Are you passionate about equity, inclusion, and helping others succeed? As an Employment Consultant, you’ll be a change maker—supporting people with disabilities as they discover meaningful careers and partnering with local businesses to create more inclusive workplaces.

This is an ideal role for someone launching a career in Social Work, Human Services, or DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion)—or for someone ready to refocus their experience toward making a real impact in their community. You'll gain hands‑on experience in disability employment services, build deep relationships, and see the direct results of your work every day.

You’ll be on the move, working one‑on‑one with individuals in our service areas, so having reliable transportation is required. We have regional teams in Snohomish County, the Seattle area, South King County, Eastside, and in Pierce County. Caseloads are built to serve one region, though all staff are expected to be able to commute to other regions to provide support as needed.

PROVAIL has an exciting opportunity for an Employment Consultant to join our team! In this role, you will support people with disabilities through their career journey, and help businesses build a more inclusive workforce. As an entry position into the field of disability employment services, this is a great job if you are just starting a Social Work or Human Services career, or if you are refocusing your experience to make a difference in the world.

This role requires daily driving in your own vehicle and will support individuals in various surrounding Pierce County neighborhoods.

This is a full time position that typically works Monday‑Friday during normal business hours but may require some need for occasional nights/weekends based business needs. This position involves offering employment assistance to participants employed in casinos.

It’s essential to note that the work environment includes indoor smoking and drinking. Additionally, a vendor badge through the casino is required for Employment Consultants, which includes undergoing a background check covering the past 10 years and a credit check.
