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.

Join Insight Lewisham, part of the Waythrough group and one of the top YP services in London, as a Children, Young People, and Families Practitioner and be at the forefront of delivering meaningful, trauma-informed support to young people affected by substance misuse.

As part of a passionate, community-based team, you'll be out and about across Lewisham—working face-to-face with young people, families, and professionals in schools, family hubs, supported housing, and community spaces.

Your day-to-day might include:

  • 1:1 psychosocial sessions with young people and/or their parents/carers
  • Group work, assemblies, and creative outreach in schools and colleges
  • Leading or co-delivering workshops, webinars, and awareness events
  • Supporting young people to improve their mental health, physical wellbeing, and resilience

As part of your role, you’ll help shape and manage our digital engagement across Instagram and TikTok.
