Perspectief employs 24 mediators that facilitate mediations all over the Netherlands. Perspectief also has a national head office in Utrecht where five staff members work on policy, communication, and management. Two employees work at the registration point to take calls from clients and professionals, and to process incoming applications. Perspectief searches for mediators in different regions because the mediators work from home and within their area. This way, travel time and costs are limited. On a yearly basis, we receive about 1500 applications. Perspectief falls under the CAO Social Work.
Diversity
Perspectief Herstelbemiddeling believes that a more diverse workforce and an inclusive company culture that focuses on connection between people, can be the key to a more innovative way of collaboration, flexibility, and an overall improved service. For this reason, we strive for equal representation when it comes to knowledge, experience, age and background. In case of equal suitability, we will give our preference to the applicant who contributes to increased diversity of our staff.
Because of the nature of our work and the frequent collaboration with network partners and other professionals, we require all employees to have at least C1 level of receptive Dutch language skills.

“I find it a privilege that people trust me with their stories. They are often stories full of shame, intimacy, anger or grief. I’m not afraid of emotions; grief and anger are common ones. I see, hear, and feel what the impact of events are. My own (work) life experience is useful to me in my work as a mediator.”
