Careers

If you have a heart for helping people, we want to work with you! We value creativity, innovation and connection where everyone has a voice and feels valued. We are here to provide our team members with professional development and opportunities to grow.

We also are open to working in new ways and in different environments. In recent years, we’ve seen the need for work life balance like never before. Therefore, we offer telework, remote, flexible and hybrid accommodations where possible. Never losing site of the personal, one-to-one interactions needed to help our clients, we also want to be available to them via virtual platforms. Our goal is to erase barriers for those we serve and foster an inspirational culture of helping others where they need us, when they need us.

Our commitment to you doesn’t stop when you are hired. We continue to invest in your career growth through on-the-job-training, internal and external learning and opportunities for career advancement.

Our robust benefits package includes competitive pay and time-off.

Supporting veterans

We understand that veterans may face significant challenges as they transition back to civilian life or seek to balance their careers with continued service in the National Guard or Reserves. We are here to make this transition for veterans smoother.

Because our main offices are located in Northwest Florida’s military communities, a significant part of our workforce is made up of veterans, retirees, separated service members and veterans with disabilities.

To honor and thank veterans for their service, we established our Veterans Initiative, which commits to supporting veterans and helping military service members transition into civilian careers.

We offer employment opportunities directly aligned with the skills and expertise of veterans and are available to help veterans throughout their hiring and onboarding process.

Our commitment extends to professional development and providing our team members with opportunities to grow. Our employment services team works to remove barriers as service men and women return to civilian life. We strive to position all veteran team members for success throughout their employment journey. Accommodations and supports are available and are provided based on the individual needs of the veteran to ensure successful job retention.

We are also a designated Military Friendly® Employer and a VETS Indexes 4-Star Employer. Our Employee Resource Group named V.E.T.S. (Veterans Empowered through Support) provides information and support to improve the workplace experience for our team members with military backgrounds.
