Open Access and Engagement Worker

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.

North Yorkshire Horizons is a service made up of several key partners including Waythrough, enabling the development of a peer led, recovery community.

Providing a safe environment in which people can develop the life skills, and confidence to achieve and maintain recovery and abstinence from their substance misuse, successfully re-integrate into society, and become active, contributing citizens.

The Open Access and Engagement Worker will be an integral member of the dynamic multi-agency team providing harm reduction advice, needle exchange provision, crisis case management, Single Point of contact cover and developing and delivering comprehensive and tailored individual interventions that will include delivery of a full range of open access, structured, one to one and group support.

The post holder will be expected to work closely with appropriate partners and stakeholders within office based, community and outreach settings.
