Peer Support Worker

3 months ago

Red Deer, Canada Alberta Health Services Full time

Your Opportunity:

The Opioid Dependency Program provides holistic support to people diagnosed with Opioid Use Disorder. In this exciting opportunity, we are seeking an experienced, caring and strength-based professional to complement our Health Services Team to support people in their journey. This Peer Support Worker (PSW) position will work with the multidisciplinary team to provide comprehensive support to people using opioids who are considering or requesting Narcotic Transition Services or Opioid Agonist Therapy. Working from a harm reduction and trauma informed approach, the Peer Support Worker provides culturally aware, client-centered interventions and supports that complement the work of the clinicians and provide emotional and social support to individuals accessing services. The incumbent must have the ability to walk along with the client on their journey, empowering them to self-advocate and achieve their personal goals and support the individual’s treatment plan. Through their own lived experience(s) with addiction and/or mental illness(s), poverty (including homelessness) and experiences of recovery and resilience, the PSW can authentically inspire hope and demonstrate the possibility of recovery. The successful candidate must have a thorough understanding of personal and professional boundaries and be clear of their role in supporting individuals in their treatment journeys and not in directing it. The incumbent must commit to strengthening team dynamics by advocating for the client, actively facilitating team collaboration, and engaging with community partners to enhance client health outcomes.

Description:

As a Peer Support Worker, you will provide interventions and supports that are complementary to the work of a multi-disciplinary outreach team. The team functions together to provide treatment, rehabilitation and support services for the diverse needs of clients navigating life impacting experiences. Through your own lived experience(s), and experiences of recovery and resilience, as the Peer Support Worker, you can authentically inspire hope to clients by sharing your story, offering mentorship and support; advocating for client needs; and supporting an integrated and resiliency/recovery-oriented health care and treatment experience.
