OPEN POSITION
Peer recovery Coach
As a Peer Recovery Coach at Greater Purpose Recovery Services, you will draw on your own lived recovery experience to provide direct peer support to Medicaid clients across all phases of our 12-month program.
You will deliver one-on-one coaching sessions, facilitate structured group programs, and help clients build the skills, connections, and stability they need for long-term recovery. No prior professional experience is required — we will train you. What we cannot teach is the authentic connection that comes from walking this road yourself.
