Washington Certified Peer Support Specialist
About the role
Certified Peer Support Specialists serve as role models for individuals facing substance-exposed living and those in various phases of recovery. In this role, you will follow the Substance Use Disorder Program guidelines to plan care, assess client needs, and complete screenings. You will also refer clients to appropriate resources and coordinate with the Substance Use Disorder Program team, primary care providers, managed care organizations, and community agencies to provide high-quality care.
This role is primarily working from home, with occasional community-based work 20% of the time as needed. We are currently looking for a Washington Certified Peer Support Specialist to assist our members across Washington State.
We launched Mindoula because each of us has had personal experience with mental illness, either directly or through a loved one. We realized that the behavioral health system was broken and decided to take it upon ourselves to fix it by focusing on the people we serve, not their diagnoses or symptom sets. Each of us, and everyone we serve, is a person first, and a set of challenges second. Come be part of the solution!
