• Support individualized Social Prescribing pathways connecting participants with healthcare, recovery supports, wellness activities, community resources, and other non-clinical supports.
• Facilitate warm handoffs and effective connections to treatment, healthcare, housing, transportation, recovery support, and community resources.

• Strong understanding of substance use disorder, recovery-oriented systems of care, social determinants of health, and person-centered services.
• Strong organizational, communication, documentation, problem-solving, and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, monitor deliverables, and meet reporting and contract deadlines.
• Ability to collaborate with medical, behavioral health, peer recovery, and community partners.
• Ability to travel locally throughout Kent County and to community or partner locations as required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in social work, behavioral health, public health, healthcare administration, or a related field.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is a strong program coordinator and people leader who can keep multiple systems moving together.
