Northeast Kingdom Human Services (NKHS) is seeking a Mobile Crisis Peer Support Specialist to join our Community-Based Mobile Crisis Services team. In this role, you will work alongside crisis clinicians and community partners to provide voluntary, non-clinical peer support to individuals experiencing mental health, substance use, or co-occurring crises throughout Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Provide non-clinical peer support through active listening, empathy, validation, and shared understanding.
  • Offer a calming and supportive presence during mobile crisis responses in homes and community settings.

  • Assist individuals in connecting with community resources, natural supports, and ongoing services.
  • Collaborate with clinicians, emergency responders, and community partners while maintaining a clearly defined peer support role.
  • Provide follow-up support and encouragement after crisis responses to promote continued connection and recovery.
  • Complete timely and accurate documentation in accordance with agency standards.

  • Strong interpersonal, communication, and relationship-building skills.
  • Commitment to peer support values including mutual respect, autonomy, empowerment, and recovery.
  • Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team while maintaining appropriate peer support boundaries.
  • Ability to work flexible hours, including evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Previous experience in peer support, crisis services, harm reduction, recovery services, or community-based support programs.
  • Training in Intentional Peer Support (IPS), trauma-informed care, de-escalation, or related peer support models.
  • Familiarity with community mental health resources and crisis response systems.

Salary & Benefits

Competitive Pay! $24.13 - $29.49 per hour based on experience.
