At Choice Recovery Path (CRP), we know that lived experience isn't just a qualification - it's a superpower. We're looking for Certified Peer Support Workers (CPSWs) who are ready to use their own recovery journey to open doors for others.

You'll serve as a role model, mentor, advocate, and motivator, walking alongside clients through every phase of recovery, from first steps to long-term stability. This is more than a job. It's a chance to turn your experience into someone else's breakthrough.

We lead with our values every day: clients first, transparency, authenticity, responsibility, and dignity. If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.

• Provide peer support services, case management, and referral coordination across CRP programs
• Identify client needs and connect them with appropriate resources within CRP and the broader community
• Deliver recovery education tailored to every stage of the recovery journey
• Assess client needs and develop individualized recovery plans and sustainable discharge plans
• Help clients identify healthy community, family, and social supports to strengthen long-term recovery
• Provide community-based crisis intervention, de-escalation, screening, assessments, and referrals
• Assist with Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) group facilitation
• Administer naloxone when needed
• Collaborate closely with clinical teams to promote whole-person, recovery-oriented care
• Complete all required documentation in the electronic health record within 24 hours of services
• Participate in all required meetings, supervision, and ongoing training
