Job description

Job Description:

The Oasis program partner’s with Harrington Hospital to provide 6-12 months of residential recovery services to 16 adults who have both mental health and substance use disorders. Oasis is not a typical group home environment – our model is to support all paths to wellness and recovery including yoga, meditation, smart recovery, therapy animals, 12-step programs, and more.

Recovery Specialists assist individuals with their recovery process as they live with substance addiction and mental health challenges. They help create a healing and supportive environment – an ‘Oasis,’ if you will. They support individuals through challenging times and personal crises by talking with them, helping them problem solve, being a compassionate support, and a person they can confide in. Additionally, because you will be preparing meals to share with the residents, free food is an added perk!

Other Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in completing assessments, treatment plans, and other required documentation in a timely manner.

• Provide transportation as needed.

• Prepare meals according to menu and share meal time with residents to build relationships.

• Ability to plan and facilitate activities, treatment groups, and outings.

Oasis is a facility that is contractually obligated to have co-ed staffing. This is a position that must be filled by a male or non-binary candidate.

Qualifications:

• High School Diploma or equivalent. Alternative education/experience in lieu of formal education will be considered.
• Valid Driver’s License and acceptable driving record.
• Reliability, willingness to learn, and a compassion for those who are struggling.

Pay Range:

$20.33 - $20.33
