View Point Health is seeking a full-time Certified Peer Support Specialist (CPS) to join the Paula Crane Life Enrichment Center. The Certified Peer Specialist (CPS) provides peer-based recovery support to adults receiving services for substance use disorders by drawing upon personal lived experience with substance use and recovery. The CPS uses that experience, along with professional peer-support training, to build trusting relationships, promote hope and self-determination, encourage engagement in recovery services, and help participants identify and pursue their personal recovery goals.

The Certified Peer Specialist serves as a positive role model and advocate while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. The CPS uses a person-centered, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and recovery-oriented approach. The position works collaboratively with counselors, clinicians, case managers, job and educational coaches, and other members of the recovery team.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Peer Recovery Support

Establish supportive, trusting relationships with participants based on respect, empathy, and shared understanding.
Provide individual and group peer-recovery support to adults with substance use disorders.
Share appropriate personal recovery experiences to provide hope, encouragement, and practical examples of recovery.
Assist participants in identifying personal strengths, interests, values, and recovery goals.
Support participants in developing individualized recovery plans and action steps.
Encourage self-advocacy, personal responsibility, wellness, and informed decision-making.
Help participants recognize progress, celebrate successes, and learn from setbacks.
Provide support during periods of transition, including treatment entry, discharge, reentry into the community, employment, education, housing changes, and other significant life transitions.
Encourage participants to develop healthy social connections and recovery-supportive networks.

Recovery Education & Skill Development

Facilitate peer-led recovery, wellness, and life-skills groups.
Provide education regarding recovery supports, relapse prevention, coping strategies, self-care, and community resources within the scope of the position.
Help participants develop practical skills related to communication, problem-solving, stress management, goal setting, and healthy routines.
Encourage participation in mutual-support groups and other recovery-oriented community activities.
Assist participants in identifying personal warning signs, recovery strengths, and strategies for maintaining wellness.
Promote wellness across multiple areas, including emotional, social, physical, vocational, educational, and community functioning.
Assist with recovery-related activities, workshops, community events, and outreach initiatives.

Advocacy & Resource Navigation

Help participants identify and access community resources that support recovery and stability.
Provide referrals and linkages to mutual-support groups, recovery housing, transportation, employment, education, healthcare, benefits, food assistance, and other community resources.
Support participants in navigating systems and advocating for themselves when appropriate.
Help participants identify and address barriers that may interfere with recovery goals.
Encourage participants to develop greater independence and confidence in accessing services and resources.
Accompany or support participants in accessing community resources when appropriate and permitted by program policy.

Recovery Coaching & Skill Development

Assist participants with developing practical skills related to recovery, wellness, communication, problem-solving, goal setting, and self-advocacy.
Encourage participants to identify triggers, strengths, supports, and strategies that promote sustained recovery.
Support development of individualized wellness and recovery routines.
Assist with facilitating group activities, daily living activities, and physical activities.
Promote healthy lifestyle practices, social connection, meaningful activities, and community integration.
Reinforce the importance of participant choice, personal responsibility, and self-determination.

Crisis Awareness & Team Collaboration

Recognize signs that a participant may be experiencing a behavioral health or substance-use-related crisis and promptly notify appropriate clinical or supervisory staff.
Follow established procedures for responding to safety concerns, relapse, overdose risk, or other urgent situations.
Provide support within the scope of the CPS role and avoid providing clinical services outside of training and credentials.
Participate in interdisciplinary team meetings and communicate relevant participant progress and concerns while maintaining confidentiality.
Collaborate with clinical and recovery staff to support continuity of care.

Documentation & Professional Responsibilities

Maintain timely, accurate, and confidential documentation of peer-support contacts, services provided, referrals, participant goals, and progress.
Comply with organizational policies, confidentiality requirements, ethical standards, and applicable federal and state regulations.
Maintain appropriate professional boundaries and distinguish peer support from clinical counseling or treatment.
Protect participant privacy and follow all applicable confidentiality requirements, including HIPAA and applicable substance-use-disorder confidentiality regulations.
Participate in required supervision, staff meetings, training, and professional development activities.
Maintain required peer-support certification and complete continuing education as required.
Other related duties as assigned.
