“When you choose to join us, you’re choosing more than just a job… you’re choosing to make a difference.”

We have exciting opportunities to join our Criminal Justice Team, working within a friendly, supportive wider team of Humankind and NHS Recovery Coordinators based at The Grove in Tottenham.

Our aim is to develop new, and strengthen existing, criminal justice pathways into drug and alcohol treatment for people affected by homelessness, mental health difficulties, domestic violence and involvement in the criminal justice system.

About the Role

We are looking for Criminal Justice Recovery Coordinators to join us at a time of exciting development and transformation across our London services.

• Work across a range of criminal justice settings including probation, courts, police custody suites and prisons

• Be an integral member of a dynamic treatment team, working closely with team leaders and partner agencies

• Develop and deliver tailored support, including recovery planning and case management

• Support service users to make positive changes at all stages of their recovery journey

• Provide targeted interventions, from brief advice through to structured treatment

• Ensure every recovery plan is personalised and responsive to individual priorities

Our approach

You will take a holistic “whole person” approach, ensuring that each service user’s package of care considers all aspects of their wellbeing – not just their substance use. Your work will help achieve the best possible outcomes for every person you support.

• Are passionate about supporting people within the criminal justice system

• Can build positive and professional relationships with service users and partner organisations

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/
