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.

Are you looking for a challenging and rewarding role where you can make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable children, young people and their families? Look no further than North Yorkshire RISE.

North Yorkshire RISE is a specialist young people’s drug and alcohol service. Commissioned by North Yorkshire Council. NY RISE works with young people across North Yorkshire aged 10-19 and up to 24 with SEND who need specialist support around drug and alcohol use.

The position of Youth Justice Drug and Alcohol Practitioner will work within North Yorkshire Council's Youth Justice Team.
