Who are Waythrough….
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 have almost 200 services around England – and nearly 3,500 amazing staff and volunteers who run them. Every year our services support around 125,000 people.

Recovery Support Volunteers can be involved in various aspects of service delivery.

It is a front line, client facing role and may involve a focus on one particular area, such as group work or supporting clients during appointments, or, it may involve a combination of tasks and activities.

We are looking for a team player with a willingness to learn.

Tasks may include:

· Support people engaged in with Northumberland Recovery Partnership to achieve their Recovery Plan goals

· Support the facilitation of structured and unstructured group work programmes, both virtually and face to face

· Support and empower individuals to engage in recovery activities, including those provided by NRP and the wider community

· Conduct welfare and check-in phone calls

· Be a first point of contact for individuals, professionals, or family members, taking referrals as appropriate

· Provide Brief Interventions, including those focussed around harm reduction

· Identify and report any concerns or risks to the Duty staff or Duty Manager
