Structure of Mediation Northern Ireland

Mediation Northern Ireland is governed by a Board of Trustees. The Board has established two Committees, to which outside members can be co-opted.

The staff of Mediation Northern Ireland are accountable to the Director who, in turn, reports to the Board of Trustees. Staff and Board members work together in respective Committees.

The staff are led by a Management Team which consists of the Director, the Assistant Director (Services), and the Assistant Director (Resources).

The Management Team leads Mediation Northern Ireland's staff group, which consists of three types of personnel.

• Core staff who have long-term tenure.
• Programme staff whose tenure is limited to the life of a particular piece of work.
• Sessional workers, known as Associates, who deliver training and engage in practice on behalf of the organisation.
