Peer Recovery Specialist

Job Description

Job Description

Steadfast Health was founded to establish a new standard of substance use disorder (SUD) care. Recognizing that traditional treatment methods often fall short of reaching patients when they're most in need, Steadfast is relentlessly focused on making low-barrier, high quality care accessible to all. We know that the journey to recovery is unique for every individual, and our patient-centered approach ensures we meet patients where they are, providing evidence-based therapies with unwavering support in a compassionate environment that fosters healing and growth.

Role

Are you passionate about helping others on their recovery journey? We're looking for a Peer Recovery Specialist to join our team and make a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals navigating substance use and recovery. In this role, you'll use your lived experience to inspire hope, build trust, and empower others to create positive change.

At Steadfast Health, we honor and value the lived experience that Peer Support Specialists bring to recovery work. Here, you are an equal member of the treatment team, contributing your expertise in ways that truly matter to patients. We provide reliable schedules, group supervision, peer mentorship, and ongoing training so you can grow without compromising your recovery. For outreach work, we cover mileage and travel time, and we go a step further by providing on the clock time to continue investing in your own recovery. At Steadfast, your story is your strength and your work changes lives.

This is more than a job — it's an opportunity to use your story and experience to guide others, foster resilience, and contribute to a community where recovery is possible for everyone.
