We are committed to fostering best practice in mediation, child informed and child inclusive practice and supporting professionals who work with families during conflict.

  • Passionate about child-centred approaches in family dispute resolution.

  • Skilled at engaging adult learners with diverse professional backgrounds.

  • A collaborative team player who values innovation and continuous improvement.

Note: If you do not have current training qualifications but have a good depth of experience as a FDRP and CIP we may be able to work with a co-assessment model.

  • Current or recent practice experience (within the last 3–5 years).
