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 are excited to offer an opportunity for a Drug and Alcohol Recovery Coordinator, to join our Forward Leeds team. 

This role is working within the Active Recovery team based at Seacroft, supporting a caseload of clients whose primary substance is heroin.

• Working collaboratively with key partners and colleagues across the city-wide partnership to achieve the best health and wellbeing outcomes for individuals.
