Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Provide community-based mental health and substance use treatment support by leveraging lived recovery experience. Responsibilities include case management, removing barriers to care, and providing transportation to essential appointments.
Candidates must have lived experience with mental health recovery, be at least 21 years old, and possess a valid driver's license with a car. Educational requirements vary from a high school diploma with 5 years of experience to a Master's degree in a related field.
Are you looking for an opportunity to use your mental health recovery experience to be a change agent in the mental health field? At Thresholds, we believe in meeting people where they’re at – in their environment and on their journey to recovery. Community Support Specialists (CSS) provide mental health and substance use treatment support where it makes the most impact – in a person’s community. We value personal lived experiences with mental health recovery and are seeking a peer professional, who either has the CRSS (Certified Recovery Support Specialist) credential or is able to get the CRSS within a year.
Working as a Community Support Specialist is a unique opportunity to use your lived experience to support others. Through care planning, you will be an integral part of a client’s growth and recovery. You will remove barriers to mental healthcare through case management: connecting our clients with resources and helping them navigate complex systems. You will help clients strengthen daily living skills as you drive them to doctors’ appointments, to benefits offices, or to the grocery store. As the identified Peer on the team, you will share your recovery story with our clients in a mutual, two-way helping process where you will learn from each other and model that recovery can happen. Each day will be a little bit different, requiring you to adapt to your client’s schedule, needs, and treatment plan.
The culture at Thresholds is compassionate and supportive, providing you with the tools and resources you need for the best client care. As a peer professional, you will collaborate with your team by advocating for the clients and providing insight about the lived experience of recovery. Opportunities for training and professional development will deepen your knowledge and expand your clinical skills in harm reduction, trauma-informed care, and other evidence-based practices. To support the CRSS credential, we offer free clinical supervision, fee reimbursement, and scholarship opportunities. This invaluable experience will set you up for a variety of career paths and growth opportunities within our organization.
Thresholds is a mission-driven agency with a deep commitment to fostering an environment where all feel valued and respected, a place where every employee can be themselves, thrive, and support the agency's mission. Click here to learn more.
