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 staff and volunteers who run them. Every year, our services support around 125,000 people.
Bringing together two large organisations is complex and will take time to fully integrate our systems, processes, and approaches. Therefore, the jobs listed here are still branded as ‘Humankind’. Next year, we will fully integrate our recruitment systems, but for now, they are separate.
