• Prior experience in a healthcare, behavioral health, or substance use disorder treatment setting (required).
• At least one year of experience in a receptionist, administrative assistant, or front desk role (preferred).
• Comfort interacting with individuals who may be experiencing withdrawal, intoxication, or other medical issues.
