Criminal Justice Recovery Coordinator

Overview

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 big organisations is not a small task and it’ll take a while to fully integrate our systems, processes and approaches. That’s why you will notice the jobs here are still branded ‘Humankind’. Next year we’ll be fully integrating our recruitment systems but for now they are separate.

About The Role

We are currently recruiting for a dynamic and committed individual to join our Criminal Justice Recovery Coordination Team based in Bishop Auckland. Our team provides support for individuals who are experiencing problematic substance use and are involved with the criminal justice system.

The Criminal Justice Recovery Coordinator role will ensure that we are able to provide specialist, tailored support to enable service users to make positive changes to their lives, whilst combining our knowledge and resources to support the engagement of individuals with a range of needs, within our communities.
