Weekend Peer Coordinator, PRN
Role Overview
Nature of Work:
The Weekend Wellmobile Peer Care Coordinator is a non-clinical, peer-based position operating in a hybrid model (virtual and on-site) during assigned weekend shifts (8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) as needed.
The primary focus is leading the Weekend Wellmobile response and answering calls to the UBE WELL line—assessing participant motivation, coordinating buprenorphine/Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) services, and establishing care transitions.
Because individuals located in hospital emergency rooms are already in a safe environment, ER outreach and hospital referral responses serve as complementary responsibilities.
Respond to hospital referrals received via the Overdose Survivor Outreach Services (ODSOS) line and conduct proactive ER outreach.
When an on-site response is requested, the position requires availability to travel and arrive at designated hospital facilities within 30 minutes.
Building strong relationships with hospital staff and maintaining transparent communication regarding availability are critical.
