Job Summary

About the role:

Interpreters will mainly work with our Resettlement team in West & North Yorkshire. Locations include Wakefield, York, Leeds, and across North Yorkshire. Our Resettlement team supports newly recognised refugees to settle in the UK.

The project requires interpreters to facilitate communication between clients and Resettlement workers and other professionals by providing consistent, effective, and high-quality interpreting. This should be delivered in a neutral and impartial manner.

Face-to-face sessions may take place at various locations, including at community venues, health, educational, or home settings. Remote sessions may take place on the phone or video call.

We are looking for interpreters with a high level of English as well as Dari and/or Pashtu.

The Refugee Council engages interpreters to work on a sessional basis. This means that, if appointed, you will be added to our constantly updated list of approved sessional interpreters. Refugee Council workers consult this list and contact individual interpreters to offer them sessions. Some sessions will take place immediately whilst others may be booked in advance. Inclusion on the list is not a guarantee that you will be offered work and your involvement will be based on the needs of the project.

Interpreters will be required to keep track of bookings and confirm sessions worked via an online Interpreter App system.
