Employment counselor for disabled persons

Explanation:
Given the job description, I think simply:

"Employment counselor for disabled persons"

would suffice.

Other variations are possible, such as:

"Opportunity conselor for disabled persons"

which puts a positive spin on the title, a popular trend in American business these days.

A note on terminology: The generally accepted term for 障害者 is "disabled person" (see link). Make sure not to use terms like "handicapped", etc.
