Mediator

A mediator helps people or groups resolve conflicts without going to court. This role involves listening to all sides of a disagreement, facilitating discussions, and guiding parties toward a mutually acceptable solution. Mediators remain neutral and do not make decisions for the parties involved. Instead, they help people talk through their issues and find common ground. Mediators work in various areas including family law, workplace disputes, commercial disagreements, and community conflicts. The job requires excellent communication skills, patience, and the ability to stay impartial. Many mediators have a background in law, human resources, or counselling, but formal qualifications in mediation are also available.
