Requisition Number 16-0053 Post Date 2/5/2016 Title Personal Financial Counselor Work Hours Variable Schedule City Fort Riley State KS Description Personal Financial Counselor Rotational Assignments (Full-time) Zeiders is an industry leader in military and family support. Our company's reputation is based on providing top quality service with exceptional, dedicated employees. This approach has earned client confidence and repeat business from satisfied customers. Headquartered in Woodbridge, VA, Zeiders’ employees support clients worldwide in behavioral health, military family resiliency, work-life education programs, and related services. We seek individuals with strong passion for what we do and our commitment to quality service. Summary Zeiders is seeking financial professionals to work with Service members and their families in cities throughout the country. Personal Financial Counselors (PFCs) play an important role when working with Service members and their families. The Military Family Life Counselor – Personal Financial Counselor (MFLC-PFC) program is seeking qualified individuals with full-time availability to do up to one year assignments in the Fort Riley, KS area. Zeiders’ PFC assignments entail supporting National Guard, Reserve and Active Duty Service members and their families. These assignments include: + Recruiting Stations - Travel to work face to face with military recruiters. + Installations – Work up to one year on a military installation with Service members. PFCs provide three types of services during assignments. Any combination of the three may be requested by the assignment coordinator. + Face-to-Face financial counseling - PFCs support and educate individuals and families to help address specific needs, including provision of appropriate resource referrals. + Financial briefings - Facilitate briefings designed to promote awareness and educate Service members and their families on various personal finance topics. PFCs facilitate requested briefings using a library of approved presentations and handouts on a variety of financial topics. + Resource table - PFCs perform outreach and engage event attendees with conversations about setting financial goals, guidance to appropriate resources, as well as discussions on all areas of personal finance. PFC support is requested on an “as needed” basis, and the frequency of each type of assignment is unpredictable. A PFCs support level is entirely at their discretion based upon their own availability and willingness to travel. Some of the assignments are not near military installations and may occur in hotels or other venues. Participation in our network of financial professionals offers flexibility and professional development, while promoting financial fitness with Service members and their families.
