Community Health Action of Staten Island (CHASI) is seeking a Peer Advocate HIV Support Services Coordinator to join our team. As a Peer Advocate, you will play a critical role in enhancing care engagement, improving HIV health outcomes, and promoting the well-being of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH/A) in Queens and Staten Island.

The Ryan White Support Services program addresses unmet social service needs that have significantly hindered access to and engagement in HIV and other essential medical care. This program will expand services to Staten Island and establish community-based, non-Medicaid eligible services in Queens to assess, identify, and address unmet social determinants of health (SDOH) needs.

The Peer Advocate position was created as research and CHASI's values dictate that involving people who have their own lived experience with substance use, mental health conditions, and/or HIV is invaluable in reaching and helping the population. As a Peer Advocate, you will mentor and guide individuals using your experiences to support people in a way that shows living a healthy life with HIV is not only possible but sustainable.

The ideal candidate will have a NYS AIDS Institute Certified Peer credential, preferred. Lived experience with HIV is highly preferred, and candidates with lived experience with substance use and/or mental health conditions are also welcomed. The successful candidate will possess an understanding of community-level work and the importance of collaborating and coordinating with other organizations.

Responsibilities include providing overview of program, department, and agency services through Orientation activities, accompanying participants to provider sites to give support and navigation assistance, co-facilitating group activities, and providing food and nutrition counseling/education. The successful candidate will also conduct telephone and office-based follow up with individuals to identify and address barriers to care and treatment.

CHASI is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to hiring and supporting a diverse staff. People of color, LGBTQ, women, and people with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.
