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 organizations is a significant task, and it will take time to fully integrate our systems, processes, and approaches. Therefore, the jobs listed here are still branded ‘Humankind’. Next year, we will fully integrate our recruitment systems, but for now, they are separate.

About the Service:
North Tyneside Recovery Partnership is part of Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Trust. CNTW and Waythrough work in partnership to support those facing addiction in North Tyneside. The team comprises skilled professionals providing clinical and psychosocial support both one-to-one and in group settings.
About the Role:
In this vital role, you will work collaboratively with our partners—National Probation Service, HMP Prison Service, Police, and local courts—to support individuals requiring intensive support to engage with treatment services.
* You will offer tailored guidance to minimize harmful behavior and support those needing more substantial support into services.
* You will adopt a holistic approach, ensuring each service user’s care plan addresses all aspects of their wellbeing, not just substance use, aiming for the best outcomes.
If you have a strong understanding of the criminal justice system, drugs and alcohol support, excellent communication skills, and a commitment to empowering others, we welcome your application.
Our office is based in Wallsend, but outreach services are provided across the borough. Occasional outreach support may be required. A driving license is not essential but advantageous.
