Job Details: Aftercare Recovery Coordinator

Waythrough launched in October 2024 following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship. Our vision is to break down barriers that prevent people from accessing support to live valued lives.

We operate nearly 200 services across England with around 3,500 staff and volunteers supporting approximately 125,000 people annually.

Region: County Durham

Postal Code: SR8 1AD

Interview Date

28 May 2025

We are seeking an Aftercare Recovery Coordinator for the County Durham Drug and Alcohol Recovery Service, based at Peterlee Recovery Centre. This is a fixed-term role until 31 March 2026.

We welcome applications from passionate individuals committed to making a difference through compassionate and meaningful support. The service has recently been rated ‘Outstanding’ by the CQC and offers a positive working environment.

Key Duties
