Lead Practitioner

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.

The Criminal Justice team at Forward Leeds provide support for individuals who are experiencing problematic substance use and who are involved in the Criminal Justice system.

The new Lead Practitioner will support the Team Manager in managing a large team of Case Managers based in our three hubs across Leeds, who offer support to service users upon release from prison and those who are mandated by Courts to address their drug and/or alcohol related offending.

You will provide line management to members of the team, ensuring that they have the support and guidance they need to deliver the best possible service, whilst supporting them to develop in their roles and prepare for future careers opportunities.

Our Lead Practitioners also drive our culture of collaborative working with key stakeholders across Probation, Prisons, Courts, Police and the Commissioning Team.
