The RSS-TLR provides crisis intervention and support to guests of The Living Room. This position requires being available to work during Living Room hours.

The RSS is required to be available a minimum of 2 days per week and is expected to maintain regular and punctual attendance.

The Living Room is a nonclinical alternative to a Hospital Emergency Department for people experiencing acute psychiatric crisis.

Due to the staffing structure of The Living Room, it is crucial that notice of anticipated absences be given as soon as possible so that coverage is able to be obtained.

An RSS is an individual with personal lived experience in recovery from mental health and/or substance use challenges who has or is able to obtain either the Certified Recovery Support Specialist (CRSS) or Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS) credential within one year of date of hire.
