Who are we…
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.
Thanks for bearing with us – and don’t forget to check out the Waythrough jobs on the Richmond Fellowship and Aquarius job site here.
What can Waythrough offer you…
* Generous annual leave entitlement (27 days, plus bank holidays, increasing to 32 after 1 years’ service).
* Annual leave purchase scheme.
* Enhanced occupational sick pay.
* Enhanced employer contribution to your workplace pension.
* Death in service benefit.
* Free Will writing.
* Eyecare vouchers.
* Blue light card discount.
* Fantastic learning and development opportunities, including free training courses.
* Work-life balance- flexible working and family friendly policies.
* Happy, Healthy You! – our wellbeing offers for our workforce.
* Employee Assist Programme and Waythrough Support Networks.
