Job description

Recovery Coach (RC) Ignite Recovery | Full-Time | 35–40 hrs/week
The Role

Recovery Coaches are the heart of what we do.
You bring your lived experience into real, human relationships — walking alongside members as they find their own path to recovery. Your role is to restore agency, instill hope, and deliver care with integrity. This is peer support work, not clinical work. That distinction shapes everything.
Who You Are

You are in sustained recovery — for at least one year — and you know firsthand that recovery is possible. You're ready to share that truth with someone who is still figuring it out.
You believe:
  • Recovery is always possible.
  • People facing suffering deserve dignity, not judgment.
  • With the right support, people can drive their own healing.
  • Community and relationships make recovery stronger.
Multilingual and multicultural candidates are warmly encouraged to apply.
What You Do

Your goal is always recovery. How you get there adapts to the person in front of you.
  • Build relationships grounded in shared experience, with attention to equity and minimizing power differentials.
  • Share your recovery story with intention — to offer hope, not to center yourself.
  • Develop a Wellness Plan with each member, and update it as they grow.
  • Support motivation, skill-building, and readiness for change.
  • Provide education on harm reduction and recovery options.
  • Connect members to mutual aid, peer groups, and community resources.
  • Help remove barriers — housing, transportation, benefits, access to services.
  • Coordinate with behavioral health providers, primary care, and community partners. Document everything.
  • Begin discharge planning at admission and support it throughout.
  • Support access to psychopharmacological services when medically appropriate.
  • Document clearly and on time — every contact, every plan update.
  • Protect member confidentiality at all times.
  • Participate in supervision, team meetings, and ongoing training. Growth is part of this work.
What Ignite Values Look Like in This Role

Agency: You build independence, not reliance. Wellness Plans are member-directed. You encourage accountability and skill-building — not dependence on coaching.
Integrity: You protect every member's dignity. You own mistakes and correct them. You hold to strong ethics in documentation, boundaries, and relationships — without exception.
This is meaningful, demanding work. We want it to be the right fit — for you and for the people we serve.
What You Get

You'll be supported, developed, and genuinely valued here.
  • Competitive pay based on experience, training, and credentials.
  • Benefits including generous PTO, 401(k), and Employee Support Programs (ESP).
  • Twice-yearly team-building events.
  • A clear path for growth through our Tiered Career Ladder.
Qualifications

  • 1+ year of sustained recovery from substance use and/or co-occurring mental health disorders.
  • Completed Recovery Coach Academy (5-day CCAR or equivalent) and Ethical Considerations for Recovery Coaching, with documentation.
  • Actively working toward CARC or equivalent state-recognized certification within 1 year of hire.
  • Ability to share lived experience ethically and professionally while maintaining healthy boundaries.
  • Cultural humility, recovery-oriented values, and commitment to equity.
  • Strong communication and active listening skills across diverse populations.
  • Comfort with basic computer skills and electronic documentation.
  • Valid driver's license, reliable vehicle, active auto insurance, and personal smartphone.
Schedule & Compensation

Full-time | $18–$20/hour | 35–40 hours/week Work settings include in-office, community-based, and virtual. Some evenings and weekends may be required. Local travel is part of the role.
