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 currently seeking a motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our successful team. This is a great opportunity for someone with lived experience to enhance their skills and knowledge to support people in their recovery to gain employment.

Full training will be provided for the successful individual.

An Employment Specialist needs to be positive, flexible, empathetic, proactive and will be enthusiastic towards challenges and be able to motivate others.

Any knowledge of drugs, alcohol, working with ex-offenders, the benefits system or disadvantaged people would be an advantage. Be part of something great supporting service users on their next chapter into stable employment. Get involved in engaging with employers in Sheffield and build connections to improve employability within our city.

This is a great opportunity for those with experience in recruitment and/or those with experience working in the substance use field or similar.  We welcome applicants with lived experience and a passion for improving lives.

We know that people are more likely to succeed in recovery through employment, education and volunteering opportunities. If this is you we welcome your application and are happy to discuss the role in more detail prior to application/interview.
