About the Role We're looking for someone who has lived it and shows up for people the way a five-star hotel shows up for guests — with warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care. This is not a clipboard job. This is a calling. Our Peer Support Specialists walk alongside patients in our detox unit during one of the hardest moments of their lives. If you have solid sobriety, a personal connection to the 12-step program, a passion for spirituality and wellness, and the natural hospitality of someone who makes people feel seen and welcomed — we want to talk.
