I haven't seen any job boards specific to Scala, but there do seem to be more jobs popping up looking for Scala experience.

You could also work at evangelizing Scala in your current (presumably) Java shop. I've found success with this approach by getting other developers interested in the language and mentoring them, especially during the steeper parts of the learning curve. If you can pique the interest of a good portion of the development team it's often not too difficult to get a new language introduced through smaller non-critical or non-production systems, which is a good foothold with which to get the benefits visible to the wider group. YMMV of course.
