Recovery & Career Coach Opportunity

Help People Move From Instability To Employment

Recovery Career Services is seeking a small number of part-time coaches to support individuals in recovery and those with criminal justice involvement in securing and maintaining employment.

This role is for someone who understands that employment is not just income. It is structure, identity, and stability.

About The Work

This is practical, goal-oriented coaching.

You will work directly with participants to:

  • secure employment

  • prepare for interviews and explain barriers

  • build consistency and follow-through

  • navigate real workplace challenges

This is not therapy. It is not passive support.

It is forward movement.

What You Will Do

  • Conduct 1:1 coaching sessions (primarily virtual or phone-based)

  • Support resume development, job search strategy, and interview preparation

  • Help participants address criminal history and employment gaps

  • Hold participants accountable to clear, realistic employment goals

  • Provide brief, structured session documentation

  • Occasionally support small group workshops

Who this is for

This role is best suited for someone with direct experience in:

  • workforce development or employment services

  • career coaching or job placement

  • case management or reentry services

You may currently work in this space or have done so previously.

What Matters Most

We are looking for someone who:

  • believes people can rebuild their lives through work

  • communicates clearly and builds trust quickly

  • can hold accountability without judgment

  • stays steady and solution-focused when clients struggle

  • prefers practical action over theory

This role requires someone who is comfortable working with individuals who may be inconsistent at times and still able to maintain structure, boundaries, and forward progress.

Lived experience with recovery or the criminal justice system is valued, but not required.

Structure And Compensation

This is a flexible 1099 contract role.

  • Coaching sessions: $50 per completed session (45–60 minutes)

  • Recovery residence monitoring (if assigned): $30 per hour

  • Training time: $30 per hour

Initial onboarding typically requires 6–10 hours, including shadowing and training.

Coaches can expect approximately 4–12 hours per month initially, with the opportunity to grow as programs expand.

How Work Is Assigned

Sessions are scheduled based on participant demand and coordinated with the program director. Coaches may accept sessions based on their availability.
