· Protect participant confidentiality in accordance with HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, agency policy, and applicable state and federal requirements.

· Knowledge of recovery principles, harm reduction, trauma-informed care, person-centered services, and community-based supports.

· Strong interpersonal, communication, advocacy, and documentation skills.

· Ability to work collaboratively with clinicians, medical staff, case managers, administrative staff, participants, families, and community partners.

· Commitment to serving individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, cultural, socioeconomic, gender, sexual orientation, and recovery pathway backgrounds.

· Ability to maintain confidentiality, professional boundaries, and ethical standards.

· Basic computer skills and ability to use electronic health record systems.

· Ability to work a flexible part-time schedule, including some evenings or weekends if needed.

Preferred:

· Experience working in an OASAS-licensed treatment program, outpatient substance use disorder program, recovery center, harm reduction program, shelter, hospital, reentry program, or other community-based setting.

· Familiarity with NY OASAS regulations, Part 822 outpatient services, Medicaid documentation, and community recovery resources.

· Bilingual ability, especially in [insert language], strongly preferred.

· Valid New York State driver’s license and access to reliable transportation, if community outreach or travel is required.

Competencies

The successful candidate will demonstrate:

· Cultural humility and sensitivity to stigma, trauma, poverty, racism, and systemic barriers.

· Reliability, professionalism, and teamwork.

· Ability to engage individuals who may be ambivalent about treatment or recovery.

· Sound judgment and ability to seek supervision when needed.
