handled in accordance with KBRC’s confidentiality policies and ethical guidelines.

● Cultural Competency: Serve individuals from diverse backgrounds and foster an

each person.

client progress, and service outcomes. Report regularly to the Program Director or

Recovery Support Manager.

organizations to ensure holistic support for individuals in recovery.

a commitment to personal growth and accountability.

Qualifications:

including the ability to listen actively, communicate empathetically, and manage difficult

situations with professionalism.

● Community Engagement: Demonstrated ability to build trusting relationships within a

community-based setting.

● Cultural Sensitivity: Ability to work with diverse populations, respecting cultural,

gender, and personal differences.

● Confidentiality & Ethics: Strong understanding of confidentiality principles and ethics

related to peer support work and recovery services.

● Team-Oriented: Ability to work as part of a collaborative team while also taking initiative

to support individuals in recovery independently.

Preferred Qualifications:

● Experience working in a recovery community organization, social services, or peer

support setting.
