Lead Patient Services Representative

Who We Are:

Symetria Recovery is the #1 outpatient rehab in Illinois and Texas. It started with three simple, yet game-changing core beliefs:
Addiction is a disease; co-occurring mental health conditions should be addressed, and patients deserve respect, not judgement. Symetria Recovery provides comprehensive substance abuse treatment with a focus on Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) in a welcoming outpatient setting. Unlimited clinical services are available to our patients under our bundled-service delivery model. Key services delivered through our Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) licensure include MAT, medically monitored psychiatric care, individual therapy, group therapy (IOP), 6-day-per-week nursing care, and ongoing aftercare.

Most of our patients being provided medication receive Buprenorphine products, but they can also receive Methadone, and any other FDA-approved medication for addiction.

The Patient Service Representative Lead is responsible for creating, implementing, optimizing, and standardizing front office operations across Symetria Recovery clinics while ensuring an exceptional patient experience. In addition to performing advanced Patient Service Representative responsibilities, the PSR Lead will travel to clinic locations as needed to provide staffing support, facilitate onboarding and training of new Patient Service Representatives, reinforce operational best practices, and promote consistency across the organization.

The Lead PSR will partner closely with Program Directors, and cross-functional departments to support clinic operations, create and implement new workflows, optimize front office processes, and maintain compliance with organizational policies and procedures. The PSR Lead serves as a subject matter expert for front office operations and plays a key role in developing staff competency, supporting operational excellence, and ensuring continuity of patient care across all clinic locations.
