Job Details: Young Peoples Substance Misuse Practitioner
Waythrough launched in October 2024 following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship. Our vision is to break down the barriers that stop people from accessing the support they need to live a valued life. We address poverty and disadvantage in communities through mental health, drug and alcohol, housing, and related support services.
We operate nearly 200 services across England with almost 3,500 dedicated staff and volunteers, supporting around 125,000 people annually.
As we integrate our systems and processes following the merger, some branding may still reflect 'Humankind'. Our recruitment systems will be fully integrated next year.
