We are looking specifically for credentialed recovery professionals who understand the recovery community and can provide a safe, compassionate, nonjudgmental presence during what can be one of the most important transitions in a person's life. Driving is an essential part of the position—but peer support is what makes our service different.

Our assignments vary considerably. Some transports may only take an hour or two, while others can involve 8, 10, or occasionally 12+ hours on the road. You must be comfortable with long-distance travel and genuinely enjoy driving. Unlike traditional transportation work, however, the person sitting behind you is the reason you're there. Your ability to connect appropriately with that individual, maintain boundaries, recognize when someone needs additional support, and represent Wings to Recovery professionally is every bit as important as your ability to safely reach the destination. What Makes Someone Successful at Wings to Recovery? We're looking for people who understand that peer work isn't about "fixing" someone. It's about meeting people where they are. The strongest candidates are compassionate without being judgmental, supportive without overstepping professional boundaries, comfortable communicating with people from many different backgrounds, dependable when they accept an assignment, and capable of working independently. You may spend several hours one-on-one with a client. We want that client to arrive at their destination feeling that they were treated with dignity, respect, compassion, and humanity. Schedule This is not a traditional Monday-Friday, 9-to-5 peer-support position. Transportation needs vary based on treatment admissions, discharges, and client circumstances. Assignments may occur during weekdays, evenings, nights, or weekends and can vary significantly in length. Flexibility is important. This position can be an excellent fit for credentialed peer professionals who appreciate variety, independence, travel, and the opportunity to make a difference outside of a traditional office or treatment-center environment. Compensation $30.00 per hour Why Wings to Recovery? There are many ways to use a peer recovery credential. This one happens on the road. You may be the person who spends the final few hours with someone before they walk through the doors of treatment. You may reassure someone who's frightened about what comes next. You may listen to someone who hasn't felt heard in a very long time. Sometimes you'll talk. Sometimes you'll listen. Sometimes you'll simply provide a safe, comfortable ride and allow the client to have some quiet. Every transport is different because every person is different. At Wings to Recovery, we believe how someone is treated on the way to getting help matters. If that philosophy resonates with you, we'd like to hear from you.
