Care Navigator - Residential Substance Use Disorder Treatment (Day Shift)

Pay: $20-30/hr
Location: Cincinnati, OH
Schedule: Day Shift, M-F

Be a Steady Guide in the Recovery Journey

Recovery isn't linear-and no one should navigate it alone. As a Care Navigator in our residential Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment program, you'll be a consistent, trusted presence for clients as they move through treatment, transition between levels of care, and prepare for life beyond our doors.

You'll bridge clinical care, case management, and human connection-helping clients feel supported, informed, and empowered during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

How You'll Make an Impact

  • Serve as a primary point of contact for clients throughout their residential stay
  • Support admissions, orientation, and transitions between levels of care
  • Coordinate care with nursing, providers, therapists, case managers, and peer support staff
  • Assist clients with treatment navigation, scheduling, and understanding next steps
  • Provide therapeutic support using motivational interviewing, trauma-informed communication, and de-escalation techniques
  • Monitor client engagement, identify barriers to treatment, and escalate concerns appropriately
  • Support crisis situations with grounding techniques and collaboration with clinical staff
  • Assist with discharge planning, aftercare coordination, and warm handoffs to outpatient or community providers
  • Maintain timely, accurate documentation in the EMR
  • Help promote a safe, structured, recovery-oriented milieu during day shift hours

What We're Looking For

  • Experience in substance use disorder treatment, behavioral health, case management, or care coordination
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills with a client-centered approach
  • Ability to navigate complex systems while maintaining empathy and professionalism
  • CPI, PMAB, or equivalent de-escalation training (or willingness to obtain upon hire)
  • High school diploma or equivalent required; Bachelor's degree in human services, psychology, social work, or related field preferred

Experience in recovery services or lived experience strongly valued.

Why You'll Love Working Here

Full-Time Benefits Include:

  • Multiple medical plan options
  • Vista Wellness (physician & pharmacy services)
  • Dental and Vision coverage
  • Generous PTO and paid holidays
  • 401(k) with company contribution
  • Life and disability insurance
  • Tuition reimbursement up to $15,000
  • Student loan forgiveness programs

Most importantly, you'll do work that changes lives-every single shift.
