Key Responsibilities:

• Support individuals through various stages of recovery by sharing personal experiences, building trust, and reducing stigma

• Collaborate with clients to develop recovery plans, identify goals, and expand natural support systems

• Advocate for client needs and connect them to community resources and service providers

• Certified Peer Recovery Specialist in Indiana or willingness to complete certification at the first opportunity

• High school diploma or GED required; bachelor’s degree preferred

• Personal lived experience with mental health and/or substance use recovery

• Strong communication skills, empathy, and ability to work independently

• Valid driver’s license preferred; must be able to commute to Tell City, IN
