Employment and Recruitment Portal

One of the goals of Recovery Friendly Workplace is to pair RFW Members who have career postings with individuals in the recovery community ready to rejoin the workforce. 

Employment plays a crucial role in the recovery journey of individuals facing substance use disorders or mental health challenges. Securing and maintaining employment provides a sense of purpose, routine, and structure, which are vital elements in the recovery process. Employment fosters a supportive environment that encourages individuals to build self-esteem, confidence, and a positive sense of identity. Meaningful work can contribute to a person's overall well-being by offering a sense of accomplishment and achievement. Moreover, stable employment often comes with access to essential benefits, including healthcare, which can be instrumental in addressing both physical and mental health needs. The workplace can also serve as a social outlet, facilitating connections with colleagues and reducing feelings of isolation. Ultimately, employment serves as a cornerstone in the holistic recovery journey, promoting stability, self-sufficiency, and a pathway to a healthier and more fulfilling life.

If you would like to work with the RFW team to post open positions at your business that can be designated for individuals in recovery, please reach out to us. We are in the process of gathering names of interested business. We will host an orientation session in the spring to discuss the details. 

Please send any questions to Jeffrey Wolfsberg at Jeffrey.Wolfsberg@bhddh.ri.gov

Hello, I’m James and for the past 25 years I have been working in sales. My extensive professional experience is in both business-to-business (B2B) sales and cold calling. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills in building client relationships, identifying business needs, and effectively presenting solutions. Ultimately, I would love to have a career where I can continue to leverage my sales experience while also taking on more strategic responsibilities, such as sales leadership or account management. My passion lies in helping businesses grow through tailored solutions, and I’m excited about taking on greater challenges in a leadership capacity.
