About the roles...
We are excited to offer the opportunity for two Drug and Alcohol Recovery Navigators to join our Calderdale Recovery Steps Team. These are dynamic and rewarding roles and we are keen for anyone with experience or an interest in Outreach and Engagement or Peri-natal to apply. Please indicate your preferred role on application.
The roles available:
1x Recovery Navigator will be joining our Outreach and Engagement Team where the focus will be on those people who are frequently dropping out of treatment, at risk of dropping out and those who are out of treatment. The Aim of the Outreach and Engagement RN is to engage and retain those experiencing or facing multiple disadvantages into / in treatment.
1x Recovery Navigator will support our Peri-Natal Team, working alongside Children’s Social Care and Maternity Services. The Aim of the Peri Natal Team is to support pregnant women with complex social factors, with a pragmatic approach that emphasises harm reduction and aims to achieve the best possible outcome for both mother and baby.
Key duties will include:
Manage a caseload by creating, implementing, and reviewing ongoing recovery and treatment plans.
Facilitate and promote the progression of individuals from initial engagement into structured treatment.
Contribute to reducing substance-related harm to individuals and the wider community.
Collaborate closely with key partners and colleagues to achieve the best health and wellbeing outcomes for individuals.
Have excellent boundaries and ability to apply ‘co-production’ principles to any stage of treatment and recovery.
Be able to think creatively about treatment options, changes and transitions in the context of a multi-disciplinary and multi-agency approach.
Encourage service users to become involved in the service and in service user forums in Calderdale that will enhance their experience and increase a sense of belonging.
By working diligently and proactively, as part of an integrated multi-agency team, you will apply intensive and co-created recovery solutions, enabling health & well-being improvements that are meaningful and sustainable.
You will provide substance misuse-specific knowledge and interventions, offering the right treatment to people, where they are at. You will be ensuring that ample treatment intensity is provided, at the appropriate pace and be able to think ahead making sure that doors are opened for enhanced recovery and mutually agreed ‘successful outcomes’ are achieved. Working to a Strength-Based Approach focusing on individuals and community assets, you will work alongside other frontline practitioners.
You will be resourceful, able to articulate yourself appropriately on behalf of your service users and resilient to change and challenges. To support this, alongside line management and multi-disciplinary clinical meetings, you will be provided with regular psychologist led reflective practice.

Who are we…
Waythrough (formerly Humankind) 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.
Bringing together two big organisations is not a small task and it’ll take a while to fully integrate our systems, processes and approaches. That’s why you will notice the jobs here are still branded ‘Humankind’. Next year we’ll be fully integrating our recruitment systems but for now they are separate.
