Job Description

Description

To support the continued delivery of quality and compassionate care in our communities, we are offering a retention bonus of $1,000.* Your commitment helps us meet critical service needs, and we’re excited to have you be a part of our mission!

Use Your Recovery Journey to Guide Others as a Peer Specialist – EPICC

Your experience matters — and your recovery story can be a lifeline for someone else. As a Peer Specialist on our Engaging Patients in Care Coordination (EPICC) team, you’ll provide hope, support, and real-world guidance to individuals working to overcome substance use challenges.

About the EPICC Program:
The Engaging Patients in Care Coordination (EPICC) program is a statewide initiative in Missouri that connects individuals with substance use disorders to treatment, recovery, and support services through community partnerships and personalized care coordination. EPICC is designed to meet people where they are—often after an overdose or other crisis—and walk alongside them toward recovery.

As part of this program, Peer Specialists provide vital support by sharing their lived experience, offering hope, and helping participants navigate the early stages of treatment and beyond. Peer support in the EPICC model is about building trust, reducing stigma, and empowering individuals to take meaningful steps toward lasting recovery.

This is a great opportunity for someone who:
Is in recovery from substance use or a behavioral health diagnosis and wants to make a powerful impact by supporting others through similar experiences. 

If you’re passionate about peer support, harm reduction, and empowering people to build lives they’re proud of, this role offers purpose, connection, and growth.

Key Responsibilities
  • Use your lived experience to inspire hope, model recovery, and support others on their recovery journey
  • Provide proactive outreach and engagement to individuals using opioids, including hospital, street, and community-based settings
  • Assist individuals in accessing treatment, recovery supports, and other needed services—helping eliminate barriers to care
  • Maintain regular follow-up to support engagement and recovery progress, including scheduled status check-ins up to six months post-outreach
  • Collaborate with treatment centers, community partners, and program staff to ensure continuity of care
  • Accurately document outreach activities in the ETO system within one business day
  • Participate in team meetings, supervision, and ongoing training to support your work and professional growth
  • Meet clients in safe community locations and maintain a flexible schedule, including potential evenings, overnights hours and weekends
  • Driving is an essential function of this position
  • Engage in required state certification training, supervision, and certification process (if not already certified)
Requirements, Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
  • High School/GED required

WORK EXPERIENCE

  • Must self-identify as a current or former consumer of behavioral health, substance use, or co-occurring disorder services
  • Must complete a state-approved training program, pass a standardized examination, complete certification process within 60 days of hire date, and maintain ongoing certification as a Certified Peer Specialist through the MCB (MO). Required only when applicable.
  • A valid driver's license and agency established minimum automobile coverage required

You’ll Be A Great Fit for This Role if You:

  • Are in active recovery and want to help others find hope and healing
  • Believe in multiple pathways to recovery and the power of peer support
  • Are comfortable discussing personal experiences to support others’ growth
  • Communicate openly and respectfully with individuals navigating substance use challenges
  • Are dependable, grounded, and able to maintain professional boundaries
  • Are committed to ongoing growth, learning, and collaboration
