A New Year, A New Start: We're Looking For Family Mediators

The start of a new year is the perfect time for a fresh start, a chance to set new goals, embrace new opportunities and focus on what really matters. At Disputes Mediation, we’re looking forward to 2026 with excitement, and we want you to be part of it.

Our services are growing and we’re on the lookout for Accredited Family Mediators who are ready to take the next step in their careers.

Being a Family Mediator is one of the most rewarding careers you can choose. It’s about helping families through some of the most challenging times in their lives, and it’s work that makes a real difference. From the first MIAM to the final joint session, as a mediator, you use empathy, patience and problem-solving to reach resolutions that work for everyone.

The reality behind the scenes

Many mediators tell us that the real challenges often happen before the first meeting even takes place. Chasing clients, answering enquiries, managing paperwork and marketing themselves takes up more time than the mediation itself.

At Disputes Mediation, we understand that reality. Too many skilled mediators find themselves tied up with tasks that distract them from the work they love. That’s why we’ve built a system where our team handles the admin, so you can focus on what really matters: mediating.

why join our team?

We want Accredited Family Mediators to join our supportive, client-focused team. As one of the UK’s leading mediation services, we provide the structure and support you need to thrive, including:

Flexible working options.
Pre-arranged appointments.
A dedicated marketing team to generate leads.
An experienced admin team to liaise with clients and manage bookings.
Free Professional Practice Consultancy for all Disputes Mediation work.

With us, you never have to worry about marketing, chasing clients or admin tasks again.

Shuttle Mediation and Co-Mediation

In some cases, shuttle mediation may be used. This involves the parties being in separate rooms and the mediator moving between them. This can be particularly useful when emotions are high or when direct communication between the parties is challenging.

Alternatively, co-mediation may be employed, where two mediators work together. This can be beneficial in complex cases, allowing for a broader range of perspectives and strategies to be brought to the table.

what we're looking for

We’re looking for mediators who are:

FMC Accredited Family Mediators.
With valid indemnity insurance.
Skilled in active listening and conflict resolution.
Impartial, trustworthy and committed to helping families reach lasting resolutions.
