About NFS Mediation

Since 1997, NFS Mediation has been providing independent, and confidential mediation and conflict resolution services. Their work spans community mediation, restorative justice, hoarding interventions using cognitive behavioural approaches, and anti-social behaviour (ASB) assessments.

They now run one of the largest county-wide mediation services in England, operating as a values-driven organisation committed to building stronger, safer, more cohesive communities.

About the role

As Chief Executive Officer, you'll play a key role in shaping the future of the organisation, holding the strategic vision, leading a dedicated and highly experienced staff and volunteer team, and maintaining strong relationships with external partners and commissioners.
