The vacancy
We are looking for a part-time Senior Neighbourhood Mediation Co-ordinator to join our team and support us in our aim of reducing conflict experienced in East Sussex communities.

As a co-ordinator, you will also be responsible for promoting the service, dealing with enquiries, supporting people to access mediation, assessing referrals, and keeping case records up to date. You will work closely with our volunteer mediators providing case support and, following training, you will also work as a co-mediator on cases. As a senior co-ordinator you will line manage another neighbourhood co-ordinator.
We are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience working with conflict in the community. Mediation experience is not essential.
