General areas of employment
Bachelor of Justice and Society, Intake/Volunteer Coordinator at Community Mediation Service
My role involves developing, reviewing and evaluating the new intake system and putting the operational procedures into practice. I am responsible for communicating with clients regarding neighbourhood conflicts, offering mediation as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism and providing appropriate referral. My position also extends to coordinating several volunteers within this service. In addition, I am developing a Volunteer Management System specifically for the Community Mediation Service. … I attended several of the University Careers Centre Workplace seminars, which gave me motivation to begin researching specific employment positions and areas of interest. I compiled a research reference folder that has been invaluable. Volunteering was an important choice I made, primarily driven by my need to gain professional experience and general workplace skills, with the knowledge that such a commitment appeals to many prospective employers. |
