Contract: Permanent
Location: Barrow-in-Furness (92–96 Duke Street, LA14 1RD), with travel throughout Barrow and surrounding areas to deliver outreach support within local communities.

Waythrough was formed in 2024 following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship. Together, we’ve created one of the largest mental health and social support charities in England.
Every year, we support around 125,000 people through nearly 200 services – and it’s all made possible by our 3,500 brilliant staff and volunteers.
Are you passionate about helping others live safer, healthier, more independent lives? Join our team at Waythrough and support people facing challenges around mental health, substance use, housing or domestic abuse. This is more than just a job – it’s a chance to build meaningful relationships and create lasting change.
We’re looking for an Outreach Recovery Worker to join our Recovery Steps Cumbria team based in Barrow-in-Furness. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives, supporting individuals throughout their recovery journey and helping them access the services they need to achieve positive, lasting change.
Working across Barrow and the surrounding communities, you’ll provide outreach support to individuals who may be vulnerable, marginalised, or finding it difficult to engage with treatment and recovery services. Managing your own caseload, you’ll build trusting relationships, deliver person-centred interventions, and help people overcome barriers to accessing support.
This is a varied role that combines both independent and team-based working. You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues and partner agencies, including housing providers, healthcare professionals, and criminal justice services, to ensure individuals receive holistic support tailored to their needs.
No two days are the same. While the role can involve supporting people with complex needs and encouraging ongoing engagement with recovery programmes, it also offers the opportunity to see the genuine impact of your work as individuals progress towards healthier, more stable lives.
You’ll be passionate about supporting others, resilient in your approach, and committed to helping people achieve positive outcomes. You’ll be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, managing your own workload, and building rapport with individuals who may be difficult to engage.
You will:
Experience within outreach services, drug and alcohol support, mental health, housing, social care, or related fields would be advantageous, although we welcome applicants with transferable skills and a genuine desire to support others.

In October 2024, Humankind and Richmond Fellowship merged to form Waythrough. We’re specialists in mental health, alcohol, drugs and related areas. Our high quality, evidence-based services are designed around the needs of the people we serve. We know that people and their problems don’t fit into neatly labelled boxes. And that finding help can be hard when life gets messy. Too many people hit dead ends when they need open doors and answers. That’s where Waythrough comes in. Our vision is to break down the barriers that stop people getting the support they need to live a life they value. It’s a big ask, but one we aren’t shy of. To everyone that comes through our doors, we promise: Wherever you are now, we won’t judge or write you off. We’ll help you work out who you want to be and where you want to go. We’ll stick with you until you’re ready to move on. This page is now inactive, but if you require more information or support, you can find us here. ⬇️ https://www.linkedin.com/company/waythrough/
