Wisconsin Peer Specialist Employment Initiative

Statewide Job Opportunities

The goal of the Wisconsin Peer Specialist Employment Initiative (WIPSEI) is to promote the training, certification, and hiring of Certified Peer Specialists and Certified Parent Peer Specialists and support the improvement and expansion of peer support services throughout the state.

The employment announcements posted on this website only constitute the postings emailed directly to the Wisconsin Peer Specialist Employment Initiative. For other Certified Peer Specialist and Certified Parent Peer Specialist job opportunities please refer to the various job listings specific to your area. We recommend checking out Indeed (click here), the Job Center of Wisconsin (click here), county and state government job listings, as well as social media platforms that announce job openings like Facebook and LinkedIn.

When searching for jobs on sites like Indeed or the Job Center of Wisconsin, we recommend searching with key words like “peer support specialist,” “parent peer specialist,” “Certified Peer Specialist,” or “Certified Parent Peer Specialist.”
