Part Time Mental Health Peer Support (Case Manager)
Saratoga Springs, NY area

Flexible Hours (10/week)
Knowledge of mental health is required

Responsible for teaching and enhancing life skills through regular communication and face-to-face interactions with the client

About Us
Guardian Recovery is a leading provider of mental health and substance abuse treatment services, dedicated to transforming lives and communities through compassionate care and evidence-based practices. As a reputable organization committed to excellence, we are seeking organized and compassionate individuals to join our team as Case Managers.

Join Our Team
As a Part Time Mental Health Peer Support (Case Manager), you will play a pivotal role in coordinating and advocating for the comprehensive care of individuals receiving mental health and substance abuse treatment. This role is designed ideally for someone with lived experience in their own mental health journey, capable of providing support through a peer-based, recovery-oriented approach. This person will essentially act as sponsor to the client by being aligned with Emotions Anonymous (EA) principles. Join us in our mission to make a positive impact on the well-being of individuals and families in our community.

Location and Schedule:
This position is in-person in the Saratoga Springs, NY area. Initially, this part-time position will require approximately 10 hours a week, eventually decreasing over several months depending on the clients recovery journey. The weekly schedule can be very flexible, as long as you can facilitate the client's wellness activities. Ideally, this will include some weekend and weekday hours. This individual also must be on-call for emergency/crisis situations, such as non-medical transportation to a treatment facility if needed.

Pay and Benefits:
Compensation for this role ranges from $40 to $50 an hour as a part-time 1099 independent contractor. Should this role be fulfilled by a licensed clinician, additional compensation can be negotiated up to $60 per hour (1099).

This is a part-time, 1099 independent contractor position without benefits. However, these are career advancement opportunities within Guardian Recovery, as we prefer to promote and offer transfers from within whenever possible.

Job Responsibilities:

Provide the client with personal encouragement, support, guidance, and accountability throughout their mental health journey.
Advocate for the client to ensure they have access to the right services needed to maintain mental health wellness.
Attend AA and/or NA meetings with the client, assisting with transportation when needed.
Chaperone the client during daily outings, including practical and recreational activities such as attending personal appointments or grocery shopping.
Assist the client in maintaining housing arrangements and support their daily living. Provide crisis intervention as needed.
Interact with the client's family members, friends, and other individuals in their support system to aid in their recovery/wellness.
Interface with licensed professionals assigned to the client, such as social services representatives, medical providers, and other external agencies.
Collaborate with internal teams supporting the client's continued access to care, including assisting with assessing client needs and helping to build treatment/care plans.

Qualifications Required:

Knowledge of the mental health wellness process is required. This knowledge can come from a professional work setting or personal life experience (such as being a sponsor).
A driver's license valid in the State of New York is required.
Passing a background check and a drug test is part of our onboarding process.
A high school diploma or GED is required. Additional education would be great, but it's certainly not required.
CPR and first aid certification (we can recertify you if needed).
Use of a personal vehicle is required for this position.

Optional Qualifications Desired:

Specifically, in New York, optional certifications related to this job could include:
- New York Certified Peer Specialist (NYCPS)
- Academy of Peer Services (APS) Certification
- Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Certification
- Youth Peer Advocate (YPA)
- Family Peer Advocate (FPA)
- Certified Recovery Peer Advocate (CRPA)
Experience in behavioral health and/or mental health wellness is highly preferred; this experience can stem from personal life or prior employment.
Additional experience in substance abuse recovery may be helpful, but not required.
A professionally licensed clinician could fill this position and be compensated at a higher rate ($50 to $60/hour, 1099). If so, clinical licensure appropriate for addiction care in the State of New York would be required.
