Sustainable Jobs: A Lifeline for Recovery with April Harrell

We believe at Guiding Light in giving people the means to support themselves, which is why at The Job Post all available placements are required by us to be paid a sustainable, livable wage of at least $15/hr or more.
Imagine finding a job that not only pays the bills but also supports your journey to recovery. In this episode of 'Casting Light', April Harrell, the Director of Organizational Leadership and Development at The Job Post, dives into how sustainable employment can be a game-changer for those in recovery. The Job Post, a social enterprise by Guiding Light, is committed to offering full-time, livable wage positions to help individuals rebuild their lives.
April shares heartwarming stories of people who have found not just jobs, but renewed hope through The Job Post. She explains how the organization partners with companies willing to hire individuals with criminal histories, providing a second chance to those often overlooked. Emotional support for employees is another cornerstone of their approach, ensuring that the work environment is conducive to both personal and professional growth.
If you or someone you know is navigating the challenges of recovery, this episode offers valuable insights into how stable employment can be a cornerstone of a sustainable, sober life. Tune in to hear how The Job Post is making a tangible difference in the lives of many.
