We are looking for mission-driven individuals who are deeply passionate about the Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and Mental Health (MH) field. Whether you are driven by a personal journey (lived experience), a professional calling, or a desire to give back, your primary role is to model a healthy, sober lifestyle while maintaining a safe and accountable environment. You will work as a vital link between the residents and our clinical team, ensuring that the house culture remains therapeutic and supportive.

- Education: High school diploma or equivalent (preferred).
- Safety: Must pass all mandatory pre-employment screenings, including background checks and health screenings.
- Clean Record: Valid driver’s license and a clean driving record for at least 5 years.
Responsibilities
- Recovery Mentorship & Empowerment: Provide direct guidance by modeling healthy boundaries and effective communication. Use your passion or lived experience to help residents navigate the 12-step model, encouraging them to solve problems through peer support and self-help concepts.
- Crisis Intervention & Resolution: Act as the primary point of contact for house conflicts. Utilize proactive de-escalation techniques and thoughtful decision-making to manage high-stress situations, ensuring a calm, therapeutic environment during swing and overnight shifts.
- Safety, Accountability & Compliance: Maintain a substance-free facility through regular room checks, facility walkthroughs, and drug/alcohol screenings. Uphold program integrity by enforcing house rules fairly and maintaining strict HIPAA confidentiality.
- Operational Excellence & Coordination: Facilitate resident orientations, admissions, and discharges. Accompany residents to appointments and community meetings, while ensuring all behavioral observations and incidents are documented with clinical professionalism.
