At State of the Heart Recovery, the Safety Specialist supports a secure, orderly, and therapeutic environment across all facilities. This role focuses on proactive safety practices, trauma-informed engagement, and client-centered communication rather than enforcement.

This is a non-armed position that emphasizes observation, prevention, de-escalation, and supportive presence in a behavioral-health and addiction-recovery setting.
What You Will Do• Monitor facility entrances, exits, and shared areas to maintain a safe and welcoming environment.
• Greet and screen clients, visitors, and vendors in a courteous and professional manner.
• Conduct routine safety and environmental rounds and promptly report hazards or concerns.
• Respond to incidents, disturbances, or emergencies using approved de-escalation and safety protocols.
• Support emergency response procedures including fire, medical, evacuation, and weather events.
• Collaborate with Behavioral Health Technicians and clinical staff during crisis situations to ensure coordinated, trauma-informed response.
• Complete accurate incident and safety reports and communicate critical information to leadership.
• Observe and reinforce client boundaries and behavioral expectations respectfully and consistently.
• Maintain confidentiality and comply with HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 requirements.
• Participate in required safety, crisis-prevention, and emergency-preparedness trainings.
• Communicate effectively with staff, clients, visitors, and supervisors in routine and emergent situations.
• Perform additional safety and support duties as assigned to enhance facility readiness.
State of the Heart Recovery is committed to creating environments where safety, compassion, and accountability coexist. The Safety Specialist plays a key role in protecting clients, staff, and visitors while supporting recovery-oriented care.
You will join a collaborative, mission-driven organization that values professionalism, trauma-informed practice, and continuous improvement, with opportunities to build specialized experience in behavioral-health safety and crisis response.
