Barnsley Recovery Steps McLintocks Building, United Kingdom Recovery Focus Full time

Do you want to work for an organisation that makes a difference?  Waythrough are about giving people fair chances to succeed in life.

Who are Waythrough....
Waythrough launched in October 2024 following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship. Our vision is to break down the barriers that stop people getting the support they need to live a life they value. We tackle poverty and disadvantage in communities, through mental health, drug and alcohol, housing and related support. 

We have almost 200 services around England – and nearly 3,500 amazing staff and volunteers who run them. Every year our services support around 125,000 people.

About The Role

This is a frontline, client-facing role that involves close collaboration with partner agencies such as the Police, Probation, the Liaison and Diversion team, Prisons, and others. You will deliver a targeted and responsive service to individuals, ranging from harm reduction and brief interventions to structured treatment.

Every recovery journey will be tailored to the individual's unique needs and priorities. Working across various Criminal Justice settings including police custody, courts, and secure estates you will adopt a holistic, "whole person" approach. Support packages will be personalised, flexible, and realistic, addressing all aspects of wellbeing, not just substance use. The aim is to achieve the best possible outcomes for each individual.

What We Offer

We value the people who make a difference every day. Alongside meaningful work, you'll enjoy:

  • Discounts from various schemes
  • Training and personal development
  • A chance to make a real difference in people's lives
  • Free induction and role-specific training
  • Support from experienced staff and regular supervision
  • Opportunities to meet new people and develop your confidence
  • Reimbursement for travel and agreed expenses
  • Valuable experience that can support your personal or career development
