Talk2sort Mediator

Why work for The Bridge?

There are a hundred reasons.

Maybe you’ve known someone suffer without help, or perhaps you’re tired of seeing the same new stories about homelessness? Join us and you can help change lives.

Everyone at The Bridge has heaps of energy and positivity, and we are lucky to say we start every day knowing we can make a difference to local people.

We are a small charity, but we’re also a close-knit family that’s organised, focussed and driven.

There are loads of great benefits to working for The Bridge, such as the extra holiday days or the flexible working. However, these benefits are not why you join in the first place... Or why you stay. From day one you’ll receive all the training you need. Here, helping you develop your career and skills is a top priority. We value you, partly because it’s the right thing to do, but also because it really helps you achieve what you came to The Bridge for: changing other people’s lives for the better.

The talk²sort Mediation Service works with vulnerable children, young people and adults who are experiencing family conflict which may lead to homelessness, poor emotional wellbeing, poor mental health and social exclusion.

The post holder will undertake a diverse role within our Mediation Service which focuses on early prevention and intervention in order to prevent homelessness and improve the mental wellbeing of children, young people and adults. You will be required to process referrals that are received and contact clients, referrers and other professionals where appropriate.

You will work with children, young people and adults by providing individual and joint mediation appointments to explore issues, problems and conflicts and support and empower them to identify realistic and achievable ways of moving forward and making change. You will work holistically and creatively adapting the way that you work to meet the needs of vulnerable client groups.

As a valued employee, you will receive day to day support during your time at The Bridge, in order to ensure you are fully equipped to provide the high standard of support that your clients deserve.

If you have any questions about the process or this particular role, you can contact us on 01509 260500 and ask for Anna Maudsley - Head of Programmes and Services.

Please be aware, a driving licence and use of a car is necessary for the role.
