The Rehabilitation Service Professional Vocational (RSP Voc) is responsible to assist individuals to access, maintain or return to suitable, gainful and meaningful vocational activities. The RSP Voc determines appropriate vocational goals and identifies the need for any vocational rehabilitation and/or support services to achieve the identified goals. The RSP Voc evaluates the Participant’s current and potential vocational abilities through assessment of the Participant’s physical, cognitive, and psychological abilities to create an objective vocational profile.

The RSP Voc collaborates with the Rehabilitation Service Specialists (RSSs) and other RSPs as needed to gather evidence to evaluate the Participant’s overall capacity for employment and their earning potential and uses the return-to-work hierarchy to help guide their opinions. The RSP Voc completes a comprehensive report summarizing the evidence and recommendations in relation to the Participant’s overall capacity for work and these assessments can be used to guide the Rehabilitation Plan goals as well as determination of eligibility for Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC)’s Financial Benefits Program (Income Replacement Benefit and Canadian Forces Income Support Benefit) outside of the Rehabilitation Program.
