What Is a Vocational Case Manager?

When clients suffer from medical or mental health issues that make work more difficult, the responsibilities of a vocational case manager are to counsel them on their employment and rehab options and help them develop goals. The typical duties of a vocational case manager are to assess a situation, refer the client to rehabilitation programs or job training seminars, and help them overcome any barriers to employment.

How does a Vocational Case Manager typically collaborate with other professionals to support clients' employment goals?

Vocational Case Managers frequently work alongside medical professionals, rehabilitation counselors, employers, and social service agencies to develop comprehensive return-to-work or job placement plans for their clients. Collaboration often involves coordinating medical care, workplace accommodations, and vocational training to ensure clients receive holistic support. Effective communication and teamwork are essential, as the case manager must advocate for the client while balancing the needs and expectations of all stakeholders. This multidisciplinary approach helps clients achieve sustainable employment outcomes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Vocational Case Manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Vocational Case Manager, you need expertise in vocational rehabilitation, case management, and counseling, typically supported by a bachelor's degree in rehabilitation, social work, or a related field. Familiarity with case management software, employment assessment tools, and sometimes certification such as Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) is often required. Strong interpersonal skills, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication help build trust with clients and coordinate with employers and service providers. These skills ensure clients receive tailored support and achieve successful employment outcomes, which is central to the role's impact.

Job description

Join our Vocational Recovery Services team as a Telephonic Vocational Case Manager, delivering Transitional Return-to-Work (TRTW) support to help move workersโ€™ compensation claims forward and keep recovery on track.

This role does not provide traditional vocational rehabilitation services. Instead, youโ€™ll manage a high-volume caseload telephonically, using structured workflows, documentation standards, and timely outreach to support a single program offering: TRTW.ย  You will manage approximately 80โ€“90 active cases at a time, coordinating next steps, tracking key tasks, and communicating with injured workers, employers, and claims partners. Youโ€™ll also work closely with the Return-to-Work Coordinator to reduce barriers and support safe, timely return-to-work planning.

Because the work is highly task-driven, the best fit is someone who thrives in a phone-based, desk-focused environment, enjoys moving files toward resolution, and stays organized and responsive throughout the workday.

Key Responsibilities
  • Manage an active caseload of approximately 80โ€“90 TRTW cases telephonically, ensuring timely outreach, follow-up, and task completion.
  • Review claim and medical information to interpret restrictions/function and support appropriate transitional return-to-work planning.
  • Identify barriers to return to work (e.g., noncompliance, delayed treatment, communication gaps) and coordinate next steps to move files toward resolution.
  • Communicate professionally with injured workers, employers, adjusters, and other stakeholders to clarify expectations, timelines, and required actions.
  • Work closely with the Return-to-Work Coordinator to align on restrictions, employer options, and next steps to support safe, timely transitional return-to-work planning.
  • Document all contacts, decisions, and next steps in the case management system in a clear, defensible, and timely manner.
  • Support program workflows by tracking required tasks, meeting turnaround times, and maintaining consistent availability during business hours.
Qualifications
  • Masterโ€™s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling preferred or similar.
  • Required to have a minimum of one national board certification at time of hire: LRC, CRC, CDMS, or CVE.
  • Experience in telephonic case management, return-to-work coordination, vocational case management, disability management, or workersโ€™ compensation claim support.
  • Ability to manage high-volume, task-driven work with strong organization, prioritization, and follow-through.
  • Excellent phone communication and customer-service skills; able to guide difficult conversations and set clear expectations.
  • Strong documentation skills with comfort working in structured systems/workflows and meeting productivity and quality standards.
  • Working knowledge of medical restrictions, functional capacity concepts, and the role they play in return-to-work planning.
