Aloha, and welcome.
We are One Love Agency
, and we are looking for a Certified Peer Support Specialist (CPSS) to join our growing Substance Use Disorder IOP and OP program in Utah.
Before we tell you about the job, we want to tell you a little about us, because if this is the right fit, we want you to feel it.
At One Love, we believe recovery happens through connection, accountability, hope, and community.
We live by a Hawaiian word:
hānai-to take in, to raise as your own.
