About Options Recovery Services (ORS) & the CareBridge Program

Options Recovery Services (ORS) is the lead service provider for the Berkeley CareBridge Program, a post-arrest diversion and reentry initiative funded by the State of California’s Proposition 47 Grant Program. ORS operates a 30-room transitional housing facility and provides comprehensive wraparound services to adults arrested in Berkeley who face mental health, substance use, and homelessness challenges.

ORS’s model is unique: We employ graduates of our own individuals with lived experience in recovery, homelessness, and justice involvement—to deliver peer-based, trauma-informed care. As a Peer Specialist at ORS, you are not just a staff member; you are part of a “by us, for us” mission to transform lives through lived experience and peer mentorship.

Position Summary

The Peer Specialist will use their own lived experience with recovery, mental health challenges, homelessness, and/or justice involvement to provide authentic mentorship, advocacy, and emotional support to program participants. In this role, you will be a living example of recovery and resilience, helping to guide participants through their six-month journey in transitional housing and beyond. You will work as part of a dedicated ORS team responsible for 24/7 program operations, ensuring a safe, supportive, and transformative environment for all participants.

Provide peer-informed insights to help tailor interventions to each participant’s needs.

4. Crisis Support & De-escalation

Offer immediate peer support during emotional or behavioral crises using trauma-informed approaches.
Uphold ORS and CareBridge program safety protocols and house rules.
Document incidents and communicate effectively with the ORS on-site team.

5. Documentation & Grant Compliance

Maintain timely, confidential records of peer interactions in accordance with ORS policies and grant requirements.
Support ORS’s data collection and reporting obligations under the Proposition 47 grant.
Adhere to all confidentiality, ethical, and professional standards required by ORS and the City of Berkeley.

6. Professional Development within ORS

Participate in ongoing training in trauma-informed care, cultural humility, harm reduction, and peer support best practices.
Engage in clinical supervision and peer support professional development.
Contribute to the growth and evolution of ORS’s peer support service model.

Experience: At least 1 year of experience in peer support, mentoring, coaching, or related human services (volunteer or paid).
Skills: Strong interpersonal and active listening skills; ability to maintain healthy boundaries and practice self-care.
Availability: Ability to work flexible hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as part of ORS’s 24/7 staffing model.
