About Casa Esperanza
Casa Esperanza, Inc. is a bilingual/bicultural behavioral health treatment provider serving Boston and the Merrimack Valley. Our mission is to empower individuals and families to recover from addiction, trauma, mental illness, and other chronic medical conditions; overcome homelessness and discrimination; and achieve health and wellness through comprehensive, integrated care.
About the role
The role of the Recovery Coach (RC) is to provide non-clinical services intended to aid individuals in establishing and maintaining individual and family recovery from addiction and mental illness, participate in recovery-oriented activities, and develop a network of sober supports.
The RC will facilitate patient access to substance use disorder treatment, resources, and community recovery groups. The RC will act as a knowledgeable resource providing information on resources and navigating barriers. This position will maintain ongoing patient support regardless of relapse and will serve as a motivator, ally, role model, and advocate for patients with substance use disorders. The RC will work to identify appropriate prospective patients and to facilitate rapid and effective intake to the treatment program. The RC should possess a thorough understanding of community culture to address the barriers to successful recovery, be able to tailor healthcare messaging, and provide links to community resources and treatment options. The RC demonstrates competency in their recovery from addiction, if applicable, and utilizes their own lived experience and their use of successful coping skills to support persons in their own recovery journeys. The RC models behaviors and attitudes consistent with a recovery-oriented culture in which each person's point of view, experiences, and preferences are recognized, understood, and respected, and in which persons' self-determination and decision-making in treatment planning are maximized and supported.
As part of the Casa Esperanza, Inc. team, the Recovery Coach will provide services in a fully integrated, holistic, and collaborative manner using a team-treatment approach to ensure the coordination of all client services, both across Casa programs and with external providers. This integrated model aims to facilitate clear communication amongst all providers and eliminate duplication of efforts or conflicting approaches to care; details necessary for follow-up and assignments; and ensure wrap-around support services are in place to maximize treatment effectiveness and clinical outcomes.
The Casa Community Support Program (CSP) addresses the health-related social needs of individuals living with substance use and co-occurring behavioral health disorders to help them thrive and live successfully in the community. Peer recovery coaching delivers support to individuals from peers with similar experiences to gain hope, explore recovery, and achieve life goals. It is a nonclinical and nonmedical service; however, the Peer Recovery Coach also works with the multidisciplinary team to provide support for individuals as part of our integrated care model, which includes primary care, mental health, and addiction treatment. The Peer Recovery Coach must be able to initiate and complete work independently to fulfill the responsibilities of the job and work collaboratively with all members of the care team. While the expectations of the coach are different than those of the clinical and medical staff, their contributions are equally valuable. With a career at Casa, you will be joining a vibrant team of dedicated and talented people. While there may be opportunities for occasional work from home, this is primarily an in-person, community-based role that requires travel, providing transportation for patients, and in-office time.

- Help clients to modify attitudes and patterns of behavior by increasing understanding of self, personal problems, and the client's part in creating them; assist persons to build skills that help promote their own recovery and self-sufficiency by providing them education about how to take an active role in their own treatment.
- Provide clients with ongoing education regarding substance abuse, mental health, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, tobacco, nutrition and exercise, and other health and wellness information.

Tips for Your Remote Recovery Coach Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote recovery coach openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your experience and apply directly without sorting through unrelated listings. Early applicants get reviewed before a role fills.
Show your async communication skills upfront
Remote recovery coach employers evaluate whether you can support clients clearly through video, messaging, and written documentation without in-person cues. Include specific examples in your application materials of digital client communication you have handled independently.
Demonstrate self-managed caseload experience
Remote employers want evidence you can track client progress, complete documentation, and manage your schedule without daily supervision. Describe in your resume how you organized your caseload, used electronic health record systems, and met reporting requirements on your own.
Prepare for competency-based video interviews
Remote recovery coach interviews typically use structured video formats where you will describe how you handled specific client situations. Practice delivering concrete behavioral examples on camera, because interviewers are assessing both your clinical judgment and your comfort communicating remotely.
Remote Recovery Coach Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote recovery coach job?
Target employers who have already built remote service delivery infrastructure, such as telehealth platforms, digital recovery programs, and distributed nonprofit networks, because they have established workflows for remote coaching. Remote employers screen for self-direction, clear written communication, and comfort with video-based client sessions. Certifications like CCAR or CRPA signal professional seriousness, and documented experience supporting clients through digital channels gives you a concrete edge over candidates with only in-person backgrounds.
Which companies hire remote recovery coachs?
Companies hiring remote recovery coachs right now include Equip, Holon Health, and Workit Health, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote openings in this role tend to concentrate at telehealth providers, digital behavioral health startups, and distributed nonprofit organizations that deliver peer support services across multiple regions.
Can you get a remote recovery coach job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level recovery coach roles are harder to land because employers expect you to manage client relationships and documentation independently from day one, without in-office supervision. Your best path is through organizations that run structured virtual onboarding, such as peer recovery programs and digital wellness platforms. Lived experience with recovery, completed peer specialist training, and strong written communication samples can open doors where a traditional resume falls short.
Do you need a degree for remote recovery coach jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers prioritize peer certification, lived experience, and demonstrated ability to support clients through digital channels over formal degrees. Certifications such as CCAR, CRPA, or state-issued peer specialist credentials carry significant weight, and remote employers also look for evidence you can work independently, document sessions accurately, and communicate clearly in writing across async platforms.
