Job Description

We are seeking a Peer Recovery Support Specialist to play an exciting and vital role in expanding the EMPOWERED Program from Clark County to Northern Nevada. The EMPOWERED program currently provides support to pregnant and postpartum individuals experiencing a substance use disorder with a tailored, person-centered approach designed to empower its participants to be prepared for the birth of their babies and to thrive as a caregiver. The program links participants to prenatal and substance use treatment as needed, and to community resources that address the social determinants of health. The expansion of this program will focus on Washoe County, Carson City, Churchill County, Lyon County and Storey County.
