Waythrough was launched in October 2024 following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship (RF). Aquarius supports people in the Midlands affected by substance use or gambling. It was a subsidiary of Richmond Fellowship and is now part of Waythrough.

We are specialists in mental health, alcohol, drugs, and related areas, providing high-quality, evidence-based services tailored to individual needs. Our vision is to break down barriers that prevent people from accessing support to live fulfilling lives.

You're caring, flexible, creative, and thrive under pressure. You know how to connect with people at all levels and enjoy helping others achieve independence. If you value professionalism, insight, and passion in your work, Leecroft House is the place for you as a Recovery Worker.

Our 24-hour Supported Housing service in Barnet is seeking someone like you to support service users in maintaining their tenancy and independence. We prioritize their involvement in decisions affecting their future, and we look to you to inspire and support them in their recovery journey. This includes developing personal support plans, enhancing domestic and financial skills, and facilitating access to work, leisure, or educational opportunities. Accurate case note documentation and liaising with GPs, local councils, charities, and the community are also key parts of the role.

Recovery looks different for everyone, but with the right support, we believe recovery is possible for all. Your empathy, enthusiasm, and compassion will help service users achieve their goals.

No relevant experience is required as full training will be provided. Candidates with understanding of mental health issues or lived experience are encouraged to apply. Key qualities include a caring and compassionate nature, empathy, enthusiasm, and the ability to work independently and as part of a team. Availability for a weekly rota and on-call duties is essential.

In return, you will receive excellent benefits, training, and development opportunities.
