GAAMHA, a nonprofit organization, is looking for a dedicated Recovery Specialist (RS) to support residents at Sunrise Ridge, a structured, trauma-informed recovery home designed for women with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders-including specialized services for pregnant and postpartum women.
In this role, you'll provide guidance, oversight, and hands-on support to residents as they navigate their recovery journey. You'll ensure a safe, structured, and supportive environment where women can work toward self-sufficiency while developing essential life skills.

  • Provide Transportation & Advocacy: Accompany residents to appointments, court hearings, and other essential engagements. Serve as an advocate for their needs within the community.
  • Foster a Safe & Inclusive Environment: Support a trauma-informed, gender-responsive setting where residents feel heard, valued, and empowered.
  • Work with Pregnant & Postpartum Residents: Offer additional support for women balancing recovery with parenting responsibilities, including attending counseling, medical visits, and child welfare meetings.
  • Ensure Compliance & Mandated Reporting: Know and enforce all policies related to resident safety, including mandated reporting of suspected child abuse/neglect per M.G.L. Chapter 119, Section 51A.
  • Promote GAAMHA's Mission in the Community: Represent Sunrise Ridge and GAAMHA with professionalism and integrity.
What You Bring to the Role
  • Experience & Passion for Recovery Support: Prior experience in residential treatment, peer recovery coaching, or behavioral health settings is highly valued.
  • Strong Communication & Compassion: You can build trust, provide guidance, and foster a sense of accountability among residents.
  • Commitment to Recovery: If you have lived experience with substance use disorder, you must have at least one year of continuous sobriety.
  • Tech-Savvy & Detail-Oriented: Proficient in Microsoft Office and web-based documentation platforms such as Kipu.
  • Valid Driver's License: Ability to transport residents as needed.
