Job description

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.

PCRS (Primary Care Recovery Service) and Aftercare Lewisham

We are seeking dedicated professionals like you with a passion for delivering evidence-based treatments in Substance Use to join our friendly team in Lewisham and make a meaningful impact on people's lives, their families and communities. We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Independent Prescriber to join our dynamic team of professionals. The ideal candidate will be expected to complete healthcare assessments as well as in-depth alcohol assessments and community alcohol detoxes. You will be expected to possess advanced clinical skills, a strong knowledge of pharmacology, and the ability to autonomously assess, diagnose, and manage patient care. This role involves collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver exceptional patient outcomes and ensure the highest standards of care.

Key requirements:

• RCGP Qualification Level 1 or willingness to work towards this
• Experience of working within substance use (desirable)
