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.
Are you someone who loves helping others find their strength again? Do you believe everyone deserves the chance to live a safer, healthier, more independent life?
If so, we’d love you to join Waythrough — one of the UK’s leading mental health and social support charities — and be part of something truly life-changing.
Every year, we empower over 125,000 people across more than 200 services to overcome challenges related to mental health, housing, and substance use. Now, we’re looking for someone special to join our Exeter team as a Recovery Worker and help us keep changing lives for the better.
This isn’t just a job — it’s a chance to make a real impact.
As a Recovery Worker, you’ll walk alongside people on their recovery journey — from their very first steps toward change, right through to rebuilding confidence and independence.
You’ll offer motivation, guidance, and practical support to help people achieve their goals and rediscover hope. One day you might be leading a group session; the next, you’re having a one-to-one conversation that makes someone feel seen and supported.
If you have experience in recovery support — or transferable skills from health, care, or community work — and you’re passionate about making a difference, we’d love to hear from you.

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/
