About VRSI
Vocational Rehabilitation Specialists, Inc. (VRSI) is the nation’s largest Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program (HVRP) provider. We operate federally funded grants designed to help homeless and at-risk veterans successfully return to the workforce through employment services, training, and supportive resources.

Position Summary
VRSI is seeking an Admin/Accountant to provide administrative, accounting, and organizational support to both the Program Manager (Head of Operations) and the Administrative/Accounting Lead (Head of HR, Accounting, and Administration).
