🧭 Be the person someone remembers for the rest of their life.

At Nova Recovery Center, we believe recovery isn’t just possible — it’s powerful. And you can be part of that transformation.

We’re hiring a Recovery Specialist to join our dedicated team at Briarwood Detox, located in North Austin. Here, compassionate care meets clinical excellence in a setting designed to support clients through one of the most important turning points of their lives.

This isn’t just a position — it’s a chance to stand on the front lines of hope. Every shift is an opportunity to guide, encourage, and witness real change as clients take their first courageous steps toward lasting recovery.

If you’re looking for more than a job — if you want purpose, professional growth, and the chance to make a meaningful impact every single day — your next chapter starts here.


💬 What You’ll Actually Be Doing

This isn’t a desk job — it’s a mission. You’ll be on the front lines of the recovery journey, supporting clients as they work through early sobriety and reconnect with hope.

You’ll:

  • Facilitate 1:1 recovery sessions and guide clients through the 12-Step process and Nova’s curriculum.
  • Lead or assist in group discussions focused on self-reflection, peer connection, and accountability.
  • Monitor and document client progress and keep clinical teams informed.
  • Offer positive redirection and help maintain a structured, safe environment.
  • Be a steady, reliable presence — someone clients can trust and look up to.

🔍 Who You Are

You're more than qualified if you:

  • Are passionate about recovery, experienced and grounded in 12-Step principles.
  • Communicate clearly, listen actively, and remain calm under pressure.
  • Have solid boundaries and a strong ethical compass.
  • Are detail-oriented and comfortable with basic technology (Windows systems).
  • Have experience in a treatment setting or personal recovery.
  • Can travel occasionally to other Nova locations in Texas, if needed.

💵 Pay & Benefits

Starting Pay: $14.00/hour (Full-Time, Hourly)

Nova takes care of its people — because great care starts with great staff.

Full-Time Benefits:

  • Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance
  • Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) 5.85 hours per pay period after probationary period
