    Job Description

    Drive Hope Forward: Recovery Supportive Transportation (RST) Driver at GAAMHA  

    Do you believe recovery is about more than the destination — it’s about the journey? If you have a heart for service, lived experience in recovery, and a desire to make a real difference, GAAMHA has the perfect role for you. 

    We’re looking for a Recovery Supportive Transportation (RST) Driver who is more than just a driver, someone who’s a mentor, encourager, and trusted ally. You’ll provide safe, reliable rides while offering peer support and encouragement to individuals walking their path of recovery. 

    At GAAMHA, every mile matters — because every ride is a step toward healing, dignity, and independence. 

    What You’ll Do (and Why It Matters) 

    • Be a Safe Guide: Transport participants to and from recovery-related services, appointments, and community activities while ensuring dignity and safety at every step. 

    • Empower Through Connection: Offer peer-based recovery support and coaching during transit, building trust, compassion, and hope along the way. 

    • Support Every Step: Assist riders with mobility needs (wheelchairs, seat belts, accessibility), ensuring no one is ever left unattended. 

    • Shine as a Role Model: Use your lived experience to inspire confidence and show that recovery is possible through multiple pathways. 

    • Link to Resources: Connect participants to community supports and networks that expand their recovery journey. 

    • Keep Things Running Smoothly: Accurately complete mileage logs, timesheets, vehicle checklists, and participant notes. 

    • Stay Prepared: Respond quickly to emergencies or unusual situations following GAAMHA’s protocols — always keeping safety first. 

    • Grow With Us: Attend trainings, team meetings, and supervision, bringing your voice and perspective to GAAMHA’s supportive culture. 

    What You’ll Need 

    • High school diploma or GED 

    • At least 3 years of driving experience with a clean driving record 

    • Lived experience in recovery with 1 year of sustained sobriety 

    • Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and a mobile phone 

    • Strong communication and interpersonal skills 

    • Completion of CCAR Recovery Coach Academy & Ethics training (preferred — or must be completed within 6 months of hire) 

    • All applicants must pass a pre-employment drug screen, CORI, and fingerprinting (fees covered by GAAMHA). 

    What to Expect 

    • A chance to make a lasting impact in the lives of those in recovery 

    • Full training and ongoing supervision to help you succeed 

    • A collaborative, compassionate, and supportive team 

    Opportunities to grow professionally while supporting others’ personal growth. Schedule: Monday through Thursday 2:00pm-6:00pm, Friday 12:00pm-4:00pm

    If you’re ready to be more than just a driver — if you want to be a guiding light, a safe companion, and a voice of encouragement — then we invite you to apply.
