Technical QA/Application Support Specialist

Seeking a Technical QA/Application Support Specialist to join our team!

Fully Remote - you must reside near one of our facilities.

This position supports one of the trusted behavioral health programs within the Advanced Recovery Systems family. Advanced Recovery Systems is the parent organization of Promises Behavioral Health, The Right Step, and The Ranch, bringing together established treatment brands with a shared commitment to expanding access to high-quality, evidence-based addiction and mental health care.
