We are excited to offer a new opportunity within our expanding Criminal Justice Team, working alongside a friendly and supportive multi-disciplinary team of Waythrough and NHS Recovery Coordinators at The Grove, Haringey.

Our mission is to develop strong pathways into drug and alcohol treatment for individuals impacted by homelessness, mental health challenges, domestic abuse, and experiences of the Criminal Justice system.

About the Role

As a Prison Pathways Coordinator, you will play a vital role in ensuring a smooth and supportive transition for individuals moving from custody into the community. You will act as a key link between prison services, probation staff, treatment providers, and partner organisations, helping remove barriers to recovery and enabling people to access the support they need as early as possible.

This is a dynamic position where relationship-building, effective communication, and a passion for helping others will be essential.

What You’ll Do

• Monitor and track client journeys between prison and community services

• Maintain accurate records and compile performance data and reports

• Work collaboratively with HM Prison Service, probation teams, commissioners, and other external stakeholders

• Promote and facilitate referrals into substance misuse and wider support services

• Engage individuals at risk of reoffending and support them into treatment pathways

• Use internal systems and Microsoft Office applications to manage caseloads and communications

• Contribute to continuous improvement of criminal justice pathway processes

To Succeed in This Role, You’ll Need:

• Knowledge and understanding of the Criminal Justice sector

• Experience or awareness of substance misuse and recovery work

• Strong organisational and communication skills

• Ability to build positive partnerships with a range of agencies

About Us

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.

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 ‘Richmond Fellowship’ or ‘Aquarius’ (our subsidiary charity in the Midlands). Next year we’ll be fully integrating our recruitment systems but for now they are separate.

Thanks for bearing with us – and don’t forget to check out the Waythrough jobs on the Humankind job site https://peoplekind.my.salesforce-sites.com/recruit/

Aquarius

Aquarius is a subsidiary of Waythrough. Aquarius is a Midlands-based charity supporting individuals to overcome the harms caused by drugs, alcohol and gambling. Aquarius has always held the view that people we support could resolve their problems with support and guidance and that people have the ability to find their own solutions to their problems. Our roles across the organisation include Practitioners and Administrators as well as Team Managers.
