Preferred, not required
If you hold the credential and the rest is thin, apply anyway. The preferred list is what we would like, not a filter we run.
Where you would work
North Austin — our Austin detox at 11711 N Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78753. A quiet clinical office setting on our own campus, with documentation tools, office space and a team on the floor at the weekend as well as midweek. On site, every shift.
Before you click apply
The application runs in Proliant and asks for everything in one sitting: resume first, then your details, then two previous employers with dates, supervisor names and supervisor phone numbers, then two references with contact details, then a background-check consent. It does not save partway through.
Twenty minutes at a desk with those to hand. If it defeats you, call (512) 213-4304 and ask for HR rather than giving up.
Questions about this role
Equal opportunity
We welcome applicants from every background, including people with lived experience of recovery. Hiring decisions are made on credential, experience and fit for the role. Briarwood Detox Center is operated by Nova Recovery LLC, which is the employer named on the application.
Rather just send us your details?
The full application above is the one that gets you into the hiring process, and it is worth the twenty minutes. But if you are reading this between clients and do not have two references to hand, leave your details and a person from HR will come back to you.
