Aloha, and welcome.

One Love Agency is hiring a full-time Peer Support Specialist (PSS) for our Idaho Falls office, starting immediately.

There is a thing you can say to someone in the hardest part of their life that nobody with a degree can say: I have been where you are, and there is a way through. That sentence is the whole job. If your own recovery has become something you want to hand to somebody else, we are looking for you.

For more than fifteen years we have walked with families through the hardest seasons of their lives. Six offices now, across Idaho and Utah. Adults in crisis. Kids and families who need someone in their corner. People finding their way back from addiction. We serve the folks other systems have the hardest time holding onto.

We run on a Hawaiian word: hānai — to take in, to raise as your own. That is how we treat our clients and it is how we treat each other. When someone joins One Love, they join a family.

• Clients. They are the reason for every decision we make.
• Compliance. A note written well is proof a person was actually served. It is how we protect a client's access to care and the people who provide it. We stay at 100%.
• Community Partners. Schools, courts, the hospital, Health and Welfare, recovery programs, housing and benefits offices. Their trust is on loan.

You will walk alongside adults and youth in Idaho Falls — sharing your own recovery where it helps, modeling that recovery is real, and helping people build the hope, self-advocacy, and practical footing that keeps them moving.

Day to day that looks like: one-on-one peer support in the office and in the community; helping someone set and hold their own recovery goals; getting people connected to natural supports, recovery community, and resources; showing up at the appointment nobody wants to go to alone; and being a steady voice when someone is deciding whether to keep going.

You will work as part of the treatment team, under supervisory protocol with our licensed clinicians, and report to our Idaho Falls Manager with a full administrative team behind you. You will carry documentation that is timely, tied to the plan, and built to hold up under a Medicaid or IBHP review.

• Active Idaho Peer Support Specialist (PSS) certification through BPA Health — or Family Support Partner (FSP) certification if you are coming to us from the family side. Your certification must be current at hire and kept current the entire time you are with us.
• Lived experience — for PSS, your own experience of mental illness and/or substance use and recovery; for FSP, your experience raising a child with mental illness and navigating the child-serving systems
• High school diploma or GED
• Solid personal footing in your own recovery, and the self-awareness to know where your story helps and where it does not
• Ability to pass an Idaho Department of Health and Welfare criminal history background check and be cleared before direct client contact
• Clear of any state or federal exclusion list (OIG LEIE / SAM) — we verify at hire and monitor on an ongoing basis, as Medicaid participation requires
• Valid Idaho driver's license, reliable transportation, and current auto insurance
• Willingness to keep certification current — 10 continuing education hours a year, including at least one hour of ethics

• You have done this work. Paid or volunteer peer support, recovery coaching, or facilitating recovery groups.
• You know this valley. You know where the meetings are, who runs them, and which door actually opens. When you make a call, people…
