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.
About the role
Waythrough is proud to be a provider within Reconnected to Health, delivering a drug and alcohol recovery service across all seven North East Prison establishments. Led by Spectrum Community Health CIC, Reconnected to Health is delivered by Spectrum, Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Trust and Waythrough to provide holistic, collaborative care to men and women in custody across the region. We provide drug and alcohol recovery co-ordination, psychosocial interventions, and continuity of care planning within the integrated prison healthcare system. We work with community services throughout the country and have excellent links with all Northeast community drug and alcohol services.
Reconnected to Health offers support to residents within a secure setting to recover from drug and/or alcohol dependence. The aim of the Healthcare Navigation Reconnect Service is to reduce health-related barriers that directly impact on the individual’s engagement prior to, and upon leaving prison; to reduce health inequalities and address the health and wellbeing of low to medium risk of offending behaviours. As an Reconnect Navigator, you will promote continuity of care support for those leaving prison, encouraging positive and sustainable connections for service users within their local communities and building recovery capital assets.
