Wimbledon Guild is a community charity in Merton offering practical help and support, so you'll never have to face life's challenges alone.

Whether you're worried about money, you're feeling low or overwhelmed, or you're looking for new friends and activities locally, we're always here.

Wimbledon Guild is more than just a place, we're a real community where everyone belongs.

We’re looking to appoint a new Evening Receptionist to work part-time in our Talking Therapies team. Our BACP accredited Talking Therapies department has been running for over 40 years and we are historically known for providing long term psychodynamic therapy.

Due to the success of the department, we have recently secured long term funding to meet the emerging needs of the local community. We have developed new and more accessible services which now include emotional support groups, psycho-education workshops and short-term counselling.

As our new Evening Receptionist, you will ensure the smooth running of the Talking Therapies reception on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

You will be a warm and empathetic individual with good compassionate reception skills and the ability to communicate on many levels.

This role will initially be based at our Morden site while our Wimbledon site is being refurbished. We are expecting to return to our Wimbledon site in January 2027 where the role will continue.

We would be really interested to meet with applicants who have experience of how services work either in a charity or similar service.

Wimbledon Guild is a friendly and welcoming place, and we really value team and cross departmental working. If this sounds like you, it would be great to hear from you.

Please complete an application form, detailing in the Supporting Statement how you meet the person specification.

Interviews will take place on Friday 12th December.

Many thanks for your interest in Wimbledon Guild. We look forward to hearing from you.
