About The Position

At Holon Health, we don’t do “business as usual.” We’re a trailblazing healthcare startup reimagining what it means to care—for our clients and our people. We provide whole-person care to justice-involved individuals living with Substance Use Disorder (SUD)—and we do it with deep compassion, community wisdom, and an unshakable belief in second chances. Our approach throws out the playbook. We integrate medical, behavioral, and social care. We prioritize prevention and recovery. We treat clients like people, not checkboxes. And just as importantly, we know that our team can only care for others if they’re cared for themselves. That’s why we lead with flexibility, trust, and a culture built on well-being, inclusion, and respect. If you’re energized by meaningful work and want to feel good about how you spend your days, read on. Position Summary We’re looking for a mission-aligned Recovery Coach to bring the power of lived experience to the center of our care model.
