This position will be knowledgeable about the National Alliance of Recovery Residences Quality Standards, and BHA regulations and use these standards and regulations to conduct on‑site field assessments.
In addition, the position provides administrative coordination to support the certification process and involves offering technical assistance to applicants and certified residences navigating the certification portal or manual submission process and helping them understand and meet NARR Quality Standards and BHA Regulations. The job also contributes to investigative efforts related to critical incidents and complaints. This includes supporting the lead investigation team by conducting site visits, auditing files, and compiling documentation. The position aids when investigations involve multiple agencies or require second‑level site reviews due to serious compliance concerns.
