Recovery Coach (RC) Ignite Recovery | Full-Time | 35–40 hrs/week
Recovery Coaches are the heart of what we do.
You bring your lived experience into real, human relationships — walking alongside members as they find their own path to recovery. Your role is to restore agency, instill hope, and deliver care with integrity. This is peer support work, not clinical work. That distinction shapes everything.
You are in sustained recovery — for at least one year — and you know firsthand that recovery is possible. You're ready to share that truth with someone who is still figuring it out.
Recovery is always possible.
People facing suffering deserve dignity, not judgment.
With the right support, people can drive their own healing.
Community and relationships make recovery stronger.
Multilingual and multicultural candidates are warmly encouraged to apply.
Your goal is always recovery. How you get there adapts to the person in front of you.
Build relationships grounded in shared experience, with attention to equity and minimizing power differentials.
Develop a Wellness Plan with each member, and update it as they grow.
Support motivation, skill-building, and readiness for change.
Provide education on harm reduction and recovery options.

This is meaningful, demanding work. We want it to be the right fit — for you and for the people we serve.
You'll be supported, developed, and genuinely valued here.

Market context
In Massachusetts, behavioral health employers often look for licensed or license-eligible clinicians with experience supporting at-risk youth and families, so demand tends to stay steady for candidates who can work across settings and age groups. These roles can be competitive because employers usually want a master’s degree, a clear licensure path, and practical experience; review the summarized requirements and benefits here, which are AI-summarized from the original job description to save research time, then confirm your licensure status and tailor your application to youth and family work.
