Recovery Navigator - Klickitat 

About this Role

 

The person for this position will be responsible for providing one-on-one recovery support services to individuals within the criminal legal system and referred law enforcement. The Recovery Navigator will provide outreach, long-term engagement, and strive to increase protective factors through a person-centered, participant-driven decision-making process. This role is ideal for someone who is a self-starter, flexible, team oriented, and ideally someone with previous knowledge and/or experience with recovery support programs.

 

Responsibilities

​

• Engage individuals at the referral location, establish rapport with the individual, and assess severity of need to determine what services and support can be provided.

• Support individuals with developing and implementing an agreed upon, individualized intervention plan including identifying barriers to achieving/maintaining their recovery and encourage them with making progress on their weekly goals.

• Provide immediate field-based response to individuals which could include travel to those living in rural areas and provide support and coaching as requested (an additional case manager will accompany when necessary for safety reasons).

• Transport individuals to services and stay with them to provide support, whether it’s a doctor’s appointment or a court hearing.

• Connect individuals to all available resources and coordinate which existing services the individual is receiving to prevent duplicative efforts and unnecessary re-engaging with the individual’s behavioral health history (ie. multiple assessments).

• Understand current public health and public safety needs within the community.

• Represent the experiences of participants within stakeholder work group meetings and committees.

• Advocate for participants to remove any barriers to available community resources and with gaining entry to services.
