About the role

Have you served, and are you living in recovery? Use that experience to help other veterans.

Be the backbone of hope and healing.
At Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge, every role matters in helping people overcome addiction and find a new path forward. Whether you’re working directly with clients or supporting behind the scenes, your contributions make recovery possible. In return, we offer a values-driven workplace, supportive managers, and opportunities to grow. That commitment has earned us recognition from Newsweek as a Best Addiction Treatment Center and eight straight Star Tribune Top Workplace awards.

As our Peer Support Coordinator for Veterans and Military, you’ll support veterans and service members in our Life Renewal Program, which serves adults receiving Housing Support. You’ll draw on your own military background and recovery experience to provide peer recovery support, coordinate services and connect clients to housing stability, employment and community resources that sustain their recovery. You’ll work alongside our care team and community partners, and you’ll support other Life Renewal clients as your caseload allows.

At MnTC, we live out a Culture of Honor: we welcome every client and coworker with respect and build our work around relationships. If you’ve served and you know what recovery takes, we’d love to hear from you.

Essential Responsibilities:

Provide one-on-one peer recovery support to veterans and military clients, starting with a recovery capital assessment and goal-setting
Connect clients to housing supports, employment, benefits, support groups and veteran-specific resources
Coordinate services with referral sources, families, social services agencies and outside providers, and support clients through transitions in care
Help clients build daily living skills such as housing stability, budgeting, health care navigation and transportation (when qualified as a Behavioral Health Practitioner)
Document and bill services accurately according to MnTC, payer and DHS requirements
Attend weekly supervision with your supervisor and an LADC

This role does not provide counseling, clinical assessment, diagnosis or treatment planning.

Minimum Qualifications:

Former or current U.S. military service.
Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS) credential in good standing with the Minnesota Certification Board, meeting the peer qualifications in Minn. Stat. 245I.04, subd. 18, and able to uphold the MCB Code of Ethics and maintain professional boundaries.
Personal lived experience with substance use (a friend’s or family member’s experience does not meet this requirement), with at least 1 year of freedom from problematic substances.
High school diploma or equivalent.
At least 21 years of age.
Accurate, timely and compliant documentation, plus strong communication and collaboration skills with clients, families, teams and community partners.
Ability to pass a Minnesota DHS background study under Minn. Stat. Chapter 245C.
Demonstrate MnTC’s mission, Culture of Honor, core values and Putting Honor in Action principles in daily interactions.

We provide the required 15 hours of care-coordination training after you’re hired. If you’re still working toward 1,000 supervised hours, we’ll supervise you weekly until you get there.

Preferred:

Behavioral Health Practitioner qualifications under Minn. Stat. 245G.11, subd. 12, such as a behavioral sciences degree, related coursework, or 2,000+ hours serving individuals with substance use or mental health needs
Experience in DHS-licensed programs or Housing Support services
