Job Details: Case Worker - Dependency and Recovery
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.
Case Worker - Dependency and Recovery
Working hours: 37 hours per week, Monday-Friday
Location: The successful candidate will have a regional office location but will be expected to travel to other sites across the region. The post will cover the North Yorkshire Area and where possible a delivery location will be based closest to your home address.
