Telephone Recovery Support Staff
Recovery Café of Clark County (RCCC) is looking for someone to join our team as a Telephone Recovery Support Staff. RCCC is a non-profit and part of a national network of similar Cafés serving men and women who have suffered trauma, homelessness, addiction and/or other mental health challenges. In a Café setting of "Radical Hospitality” members experience belonging, healing, and the joy of contributing to a nurturing community that specifically acknowledges addiction and mental health challenges.
About this Role
TRS is an innovative, peer-to-peer support service. The TRS Staff is responsible for preforming outreach by phone to individuals that are seeking recovery from substance use challenges. A phone call or voicemail reminds individuals that someone cares and offers a space to promote and maintain their recovery. However, those who are still often continuing to struggle with active addiction are not dismissed from TRS. The beauty in this work is that the TRS Staff can share in the joys and triumphs and offer support during the sorrows and setbacks, which in return enhances their own personal recovery. Ultimately, this position provides the satisfaction of giving back and making a difference within the community.
