Waythrough was formed in 2024 following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship. Together, we’ve created one of the largest mental health and social support charities in England.

Waythrough is delighted to be recruiting a Community Link Workers to join us.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a new, dynamic service supporting some of the most vulnerable individuals in the criminal justice system.

As a Community Link Worker, you will provide information, advice, guidance, and direct individual support to people referred from police custody, courts, and prisons. Many individuals accessing our service may present with a range of mental health disorders, complex needs, or specialist rehabilitation requirements. This includes those with learning disabilities and autistic people eligible for forensic mental health support.

This role is central to the Liaison and Diversion multi-disciplinary team. You will work closely with colleagues, advocating for vulnerable adults with multiple needs and ensuring they receive appropriate intervention and wraparound support.

You will be required to travel across the North and Central London area. All sites are accessible via public transport (please note we do not provide parking). The role includes a blend of office-based working and outreach, which may involve working in police stations and custody suites. As such, enhanced vetting may be required.

The role is London-based, with your main base agreed on offer and potential travel across local delivery sites.
