7 days ago
ABOUT THE POSITION
The Mediation Center of Dutchess County is looking for a proactive and adaptable individual to join our team. You will be responsible for the implementation of our civil mediation programs covering a variety of case types along with the development of new programming to meet emerging community needs. In this key position, direct contact with clients will be your main focus, including conducting client intakes, coordinating case reviews, mediating cases, case management, agreement writing, and answering general inquiries about our services. You will also support newly trained mediators in their skill development, manage the agency’s roster of volunteer mediators, and serve as the agency’s liaison with various courts throughout Dutchess County (e.g. Family Court, Poughkeepsie City Court, Beacon City Court, town/village courts, etc.). You'll need to anticipate needs in a dynamic, shifting environment and handle them with minimal direction. Reporting to and working closely with the Executive Director, you'll engage with clients and stakeholders from a wide variety of backgrounds and social strata.

We are a small agency of five dedicated team members, where everyone, including managers, gets hands-on with the work. If you thrive in a collaborative, mission-driven setting and are ready to make an impact, we encourage you to apply.
