  • This position offers a full-time schedule of three 12-hour night shifts per week.
  • You hold a High School Diploma or GED equivalent and have a minimum of four (4) years of experience in the guiding principles of recovery that help individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and reach their full potential.
  • You are able to travel within a 60-mile radius of the assigned hospital for cross coverage when needed.
  • You hold or are able to obtain, within 6 months of employment, a Nationally Certified Peer Recovery Support Specialist (NCPRSS) certification through the NAADAC organization.
