Job description

Job Details: Hospital Liaison Team Leader

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.

Hospital Liaison Team Leader at HAGA
Working Hours: Monday to Friday - 9am until 5pm. Working hours may vary dependant on service needs, this can be discussed at interview.
Location: This role will be based from 590 Seven Sisters Road,London, N15 6HR. You will be required to travel between locations, North Middlesex University Hospital and Whittington.

HAGA is seeking a compassionate and motivated Hospital Liaison Team Leader to join our dedicated team. This is a non-clinical role that plays a vital part in bridging the gap between clients accessing our alcohol services and those receiving hospital care—whether through emergency admission at A&E or ongoing treatment for other health conditions.

Primarily based at North Middlesex University Hospital, the role will also involve occasional travel to other hospitals within our localities to ensure consistent support for clients wherever they may present. The position is co-located between hospital settings and our Seven Sisters Road office, promoting strong integration and continuity of care.

You’ll manage a small, committed team and take responsibility for maintaining effective communication pathways between hospital staff and our service. Often, you’ll be the first point of contact for clients in clinical environments—offering reassurance, understanding, and practical support when they are feeling vulnerable and uncertain.

You will assess appropriate referral pathways, both within HAGA and with external services, while maintaining regular communication with both hospital teams and staff at our main office. You’ll oversee and coordinate this essential pathway to ensure seamless, person-centred care.

While team leader experience is desired, it is not essential. We welcome applicants with experience in the Substance Use field and/or hospital settings, as well as those with transferable skills suited to this role.

The successful candidate should also be open to working occasional evening hours if service demand indicates a future need for increased flexibility.

We reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a suitable candidate is identified, so early applications are encouraged.
