About the Opportunity

Empowered Partnerships LLC is partnering with a respected residential behavioral health organization in Portland to hire a Spanish-fluent CADC professional. This role serves adults with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health needs in a structured, trauma-informed treatment program.

This is a direct-hire role — employment will be through our client, not Empowered Partnerships LLC.

• Facilitate trauma-informed, evidence-based therapeutic groups
• Model recovery-oriented care and support crisis stabilization needs
• Document all services accurately and timely

• Uphold all confidentiality and compliance standards (HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2)

Qualifications

• CADC-R, CADC-I, CADC-II, or CADC-III required
• Fluent in Spanish and English required
• 2+ years of behavioral-health or addiction counseling experience preferred
• High school diploma/GED required; degree in behavioral health preferred
• CPR/First Aid, background check, TB test & drug screening required

Preferred Experience

• Residential or structured treatment setting
• Co-occurring disorder and trauma-responsive care experience
• Familiarity with ASAM criteria and culturally competent care

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Relocation support available
• Stable, mission-driven employer with strong development culture
• Live and work in one of the most scenic regions of the country
• Direct-hire role offering long-term career growth and training
