In Germany exists a tool named MELBA and another named IMBA (MELBA is integrated in IMBA so I think you better look up this one first). With this tool you assess the activity (job) and as well the client. After you made those two evaluations you can compare them with each other. That way you can see where the difficulties may occur (under- and overscores). It's available in english I think but you might have to take a course. I don't know if autodidaction is possible. www.imba.de
There also exist a scale that works with subjective evaluation via questions. The client fills in a form and the jobcoach fills in a form. This type of evaluation ask more skills though. It's useful when you guide a person who has to learn to get insight in his vocational, relational,... functioning. Some chronic mentally disabled people can get to that level, I don't know the capacities of your clients. I find it important to know that supporting vocational rehabilitation is a full-time job.
