We are a very well established Sea Cadet unit that has been in operation since 1942. We were recognised in 2010 as one of the best units in the southern area. This is not only because of our central location, right in the heart of Guildford, but because of our ethos and commitment to provide top notch activities for young people.

Our superb location, perched on the banks of the River Wey near the National Trust's Dapdune Wharf, is so close to the water that you can touch it. And this fits well with our aim; to give young people the opportunity to get out onto the water, gain confidence and have a lot of laughs at the same time.

We want to keep our cadets active both on an off the water. Long evenings in the Summer months mean loads of time on the water: Kayaking, sailing, rowing and driving power boats. Then when the nights draw cold and you think that all we can do is in a classroom you find we keep active: rock climbing, leadership games and activities and sports games.

We currently have 65 cadets, male and female aged between 10 and 18, of whom 16 are Royal Marine Cadets.

We have a wide range of facilities and instructional staff which means we can offer you the opportunity to learn new skills in a safe environment whilst having loads of fun!

Mediation Surrey provides an important public service to the residents of Surrey. It is largely funded by the Police, local, borough and County Councils and Housing Associations because of the complementary role it plays in helping these organisations to attain their goals. Specifically, community mediation helps solve neighbourhood disputes and issues of anti-social behaviour before they can escalate into more serious problems. Intergenerational mediation helps solve family disputes, typically between a teenager and their parents, before it becomes an issue for social services. Support coaching builds resilience in victims of anti-social behaviour to help them cope with the situation. 

The Treasurer plays an important role in ensuring that the organisation is run in a professional and transparent way. They will also have the opportunity to fully contribute to the strategy of the Charity and the growth in its services.

Objectives

Mediation Surrey is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) established for the purpose of minimising the mental, physical and social impact of interpersonal conflict and anti-social behaviour on the residents of Surrey through building improved resilience, communication and understanding, to help them cope with, prevent or resolve disputes.

It does this by offering free services for community mediation, intergenerational mediation and victim support coaching from over 100 trained volunteer mediators and coaches.

In addition, Mediation Surrey offers an affordable Family Mediation service for divorcing or separating couples.

Mediation Surrey employs 6 part time staff, led by a Director of Services (DOS), to run the operations of the charity.

Support Coaching for those affected by Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB)

A rewarding volunteer opportunity for volunteer coaches

About the Role

At Mediation Surrey, with funding from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, we offer a supportive coaching service for those impacted by Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) and those facing challenges with their neighbours. Since launching in 2017, our service has grown steadily to meet the increasing demand, and we’re now looking for compassionate, capable volunteers to join us.

How it Works

Our service provides clients with coaching that’s tailored to their needs. After our casework team completes an initial phone assessment to ensure that we are the appropriate service to meet the client’s support needs, coaches typically offer one to three coaching sessions, each lasting around an hour. These sessions are scheduled at times that work for both you and the client, providing the flexibility you need to support them in the best way possible.

Training and Support

We understand the importance of feeling prepared and supported when working with clients affected by ASB and other challenges, so all our volunteer coaches receive comprehensive in-house training before taking on cases. You’ll also have access to peer support groups, two supervision sessions each year, and additional training opportunities throughout the year to help you grow your skills.

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking people who want to make a difference by volunteering their time and expertise.

Ideally, you will:

• Have experience working with vulnerable adults or in other high-stress situations
• Be skilled at recognising and navigating strong emotions, both at the surface and below
• Encourage clients to create their own solutions while taking ownership of their situation
• Commit to supporting at least 6 clients a year, helping us meet the growing demand and allowing you to build your coaching confidence
• Attend regular supervision sessions and continue your ongoing development with us

If you’re passionate about helping others and want to make a positive impact, we’d love to hear from you.  Please complete our volunteer application form via the link below.  If you would like further information please contact Helen McGowan on the following email helenm@mediationsurrey.org
