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 ‘Humankind’. Next year we’ll be fully integrating our recruitment systems but for now they are separate.
Step into a fast-paced, purpose driven environment where delivering an outstanding candidate and hiring manager experience is at the heart of everything we do. As a key member of our recruitment team, you’ll help shape the way we attract, engage, and hire top talent across Waythrough.
This is a full-time role (37 hours per week) with a flexible hybrid working model.
You’ll be based at our Bowburn office 2-3 days a week, collaborating closely with our recruitment and wider people teams — with the rest of the week spent working from home.
What You'll Be Doing
* Craft compelling job adverts to attract the very best talent
* Screen and shortlist candidates to find the perfect match
* Keep our Applicant Tracking System (ATS) accurate and up to date
* Be a friendly, informative point of contact for candidates, ensuring a smooth and supportive journey
* Partner with hiring managers to refine and improve recruitment processes
