Dear Head of Human Resources,

As a certified Mediator with 6 years of experience, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently a Family Services mediator with the Surrey County Council, where I manage ~500 cases per year. Mirroring your requirements, I:

• Process intake and screening for mediation enquiries; schedule and carry out mediation support
• Participate in mediations at the Family Services Center or in court
• Attend weekly check-in meetings with the Director and external agencies

In addition to my experience, I hold a Bachelor of Law and an Advanced Certificate in Mediation. I have an excellent reputation for my empathy, integrity, and communication skills, as well as for my ability to juggle multiple cases with discretion and tact.

My time at Surrey County Council has been very stimulating and meaningful. As I will be relocating to Liverpool soon to be closer to family, I am now seeking an amazing opportunity closer to my new home.

Please find attached my resume for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Paulin Lavaud
