Hide AdIt is looking for more volunteer community mediators. After completing a 40 hour training course, you will then be allocated cases, primarily neighbour disputes, and co-mediate with someone else.
This involves separate home visits to the two clients. This is hopefully followed on with a two hour joint mediation at a neutral venue near their homes. The training is free and the mediation work is very rewarding.
