Summary
Neighborhood mediators wanted in the municipalities of Ooststellingwerf, Weststellingwerf and Opsterland.
Detailed description
As a neighborhood mediator you always go in duo with another mediator to an address where neighbors have a conflict with each other. It can be about all kinds of different things why people come into conflict with each other. Your job is to get the neighbors back together and let them look for a solution together. You will of course be trained in how best to listen, act and be motivated. You also work closely with another volunteer. We organize meetings several times a year to exchange experiences and / or to receive additional training.
The cases are received by us, the coordinators of neighborhood mediation. These registrations can be made by people themselves, housing, the police or, for example, the municipality. When a case comes in, we contact the neighbors to find out whether it is a suitable case to send mediators to. If this is the case, we match the volunteers and they can get started. We are then available for questions and provide feedback to the referrers.
A fun and challenging job as a volunteer. On average, you are engaged in about 3-4 conversations per case. How much time this will take depends on the process that the neighbors go through. How many cases are run simultaneously is always in consultation and completely dependent on you and how much time you have to spend.
An expense allowance will be paid for the costs incurred such as travel and telephone costs.
