Waythrough (formerly Humankind) 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 fulfilling lives. We address poverty and disadvantage through mental health, substance misuse, housing, and related services.

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

About The Role

This is an exciting opportunity to oversee the criminal justice services within the Devon team, managing all aspects of service delivery, including line management, caseload oversight, KPI monitoring, and collaboration with partner agencies.
