  • Build supportive relationships that promote hope, self-determination, personal choice, and engagement.
  • Maintain regular participant contact and provide ongoing encouragement, recovery monitoring, and follow-up.
  • Support participants during transitions, setbacks, and periods of increased vulnerability.
  • Help implement individualized Recovery Capital Plans in collaboration with participants and the Recovery Capital Coordinator.
  • Help participants identify and strengthen personal, family/social, community, and cultural Recovery Capital.
  • Connect participants with healthcare, behavioral health services, SUD treatment, housing, employment, transportation, benefits, education, and other resources.
  • Connect participants with recovery communities, peer supports, wellness resources, volunteer opportunities, and meaningful community activities.
  • Provide warm handoffs and follow through on referrals.
  • Facilitate or support recovery-focused groups and participant engagement activities.
  • Collaborate with the Recovery Capital Coordinator, outpatient providers, peer staff, and community partners.
  • Maintain timely and accurate documentation of participant contacts, services, referrals, follow-up, progress, and outcomes.
  • Support collection of Recovery Capital outcomes and other required program data.

Requirements

Required Qualifications
  • Current Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS) certification required.
  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • Knowledge of peer-support principles, recovery-oriented systems of care, professional boundaries, and person-centered practice.
  • Strong communication, relationship-building, documentation, organization, and follow-through skills.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with participants, treatment providers, peer staff, and community partners.
  • Ability to maintain confidentiality and appropriately handle sensitive participant information.
  • Ability to travel to community and partner locations as required.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience providing peer recovery support, recovery coaching, community-based services, outreach, resource navigation, or related human services.
  • Knowledge of Recovery Capital.
  • Experience supporting individuals with opioid use disorder, stimulant use disorder, co-occurring behavioral health conditions, or complex social needs.
  • Familiarity with healthcare, behavioral health, recovery, housing, employment, transportation, and community resources in Sussex County.
What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who understands how to use peer-support principles to build connection and hope while maintaining appropriate professional and ethical boundaries.

The ideal candidate is dependable, strengths-based, person-centered, comfortable working in the community, and committed to helping participants identify and build the resources that support their individual recovery goals.
