What our employees love about working at Wellspring...

Wellspring Peer Support Specialist Summary:
Peer Support Specialists serve as symbols of hope that recovery is possible for other consumers who are struggling with mental illness. The fact that “they have been there” and can relate to many of the feelings and experiences of those they work with gives them a power and authenticity that make them invaluable members of the care team. The primary function of the Peer Specialist is to facilitate the recovery of those with whom they work. Their job duties are as diverse as the population they serve but include peer counseling, life skills and illness management skills coaching and assistance, support in attending 12-step meetings and step work, development of social networks, and assistance with community navigation/engagement.
Salary:
$15 - $18 per hour
Position Details:
Full-time; Monday - Friday, working hours are flexible between 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM.
Occasional weekend work may be required on Saturday and/or Sunday; working hours are 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM or 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
Experience and Skills Requirements:
The ideal candidate will have experience providing peer support services to clients experiencing serious mental illness and other co-occurring behavioral health disorders.
Must have a lived experience of mental illness and a desire to assist others in their recovery process. Candidates must be willing to share their personal experience of mental health recovery and support others in need.
The Peer Specialist should have a belief in recovery from mental illness and an enthusiasm for helping persons with disabilities, rooted in empathy and compassion, demonstrating a careful and caring attitude.
A valid driver's license and vehicle are required for this position as the Peer Support Specialist will conduct home visits and transport clients to appointments.
Education Requirements:
A high school degree or equivalent is required.
The candidate must already hold a Kentucky Adult Peer Support Specialist Certification and must agree to maintain certification.
Conditions of Employment:
This position requires a criminal background check, clearances of state and federal background checks, multiple abuse/sex offender registries, and clearance of exclusion lists prior to employment.
Offers of employment are contingent upon successfully passing a pre-employment drug screening. This position is a part of an annual, random drug-testing program.
Benefits That Support You (Not Just Your Job):
At Wellspring, we know you can’t take care of others if you’re not supported yourself. That’s why we offer a benefits package designed to protect your health, support your life outside of work, and give you the freedom to focus on what matters most: helping people recover and thrive.
The Benefit That's Hard to Find:
One of the biggest reasons our employees stay at Wellspring is something harder to list on a benefits sheet: you can actually make and see your impact here. We pride ourselves in being large enough to make a difference and small enough that your voice matters. Being a mission-driven nonprofit with a collaborative culture, employees have the ability to:
Work autonomously
Advocate for clients
Implement ideas quickly by working closely with those who can make fast decisions
Focus on care rather than bureaucracy
In other words, less red tape and more meaningful work.
Health:
Medical insurance with employer contributions
Dental and vision coverage fully paid for employees (single premium only)
Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) to help offset medical expenses
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) for healthcare and dependent care
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for confidential support and resources
Financial Security:
401(k) with 100% employer match up to 4%
Employer-paid basic and voluntary life insurance/AD&D for employee (employee-paid spouse and children options available)
Employer-paid short-term and long-term disability coverage
Time to Recharge:
Generous paid time off (PTO) starting after 90 days of employment
9 paid holidays
Support for the Work You Do:
Free access to courses that offer continuing education credits to help maintain licensure
Mileage reimbursement for work-related travel
Collaborative culture where staff ideas are heard and can quickly translate into improvements
Free downtown parking
Use of company vehicle, if available
