We are recruiting

Sutton Mental Health Foundation is looking to recruit a full-time administrator to undertake administrative tasks, ensuring the smooth day to day running of the organisation and premises and making sure that other SMHF staff and volunteers have adequate support to work efficiently.  You will also be our first point of contact, welcoming new people and callers to the service and helping them access the support they need.

Sutton Mental Health Foundation

We are here for people in Sutton whose mental health has had an impact on their lives.

Sutton Mental Health Foundation is a community mental health support service for anyone over the age of 18 living in the London Borough of Sutton. You don't need a formal referral to take advantage of our support services, wellbeing activities & events.

Belmont Connect

Due to the ongoing Covid situation, regulations and guidance remain in place to help stop the spread of COVID-19. We have returned to many in-person events (all with limited numbers and you must book in advance) but we continue to offer some events on Zoom for those who feel more comfortable with this option.

The Belmont Connect "drop-in" is currently open for appointments and activities only Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10:00 am to 2:30pm. Booking is required.

If you feel you would benefit from some one-to-one support for your mental health, or you have a specific issue you would like someone to help you with, you can book an appointment with one of our support workers.

Do you need computer access to check your emails, make a booking, fill in a form, attend an online appointment? You can book a one hour slot in our IT hub to use one of our computers in a safe, socially distanced environment.

If you need specialist help or advice, for example with benefits or housing, family matters, debt or employment issues,  appointments are available on Thursday mornings, in partnership with Citizens Advice Sutton.
