Are you looking for a rewarding position that provides flexibility while allowing you to manage your personal, work, and/or school schedule?
Join our Relief Team!

Recovery Specialists assist individuals with their recovery process as they live with substance use and mental health challenges by creating a healing and supportive environment - an 'Oasis,' if you will! The Recovery Specialist Supervisor provides guidance, support and training to the Recovery Specialists as well as overseeing the day-to-day operations of the program to ensure the program, and individuals served, are meeting their goals and objectives.
Other Key Responsibilities:
+ Assess healthcare needs and assist in the coordination and referral for healthcare services.
