Post No. POSN005158 - Trainee Welsh Language Translation Assistant
Start your career in professional translation with Newport City Council.
We're looking for a fluent Welsh speaker with excellent written Welsh and English skills to join our Translation Team. This trainee role offers the opportunity to gain real, hands-on experience of translating a wide variety of documents. As part of the role, you will be required to undertake and complete the Level 4 Course in Translation Practice (Welsh Language).
This is an ideal opportunity for a recent school, college or university leaver, or anyone looking to begin a career in translation. No formal translation experience is required – just a passion for the Welsh language, strong attention to detail and a willingness to learn.
The role offers excellent flexibility and can be carried out on a fully remote basis, with occasional attendance in Newport for training, meetings and events.
If you're passionate about the future of the Welsh language and want to gain a recognised qualification while earning and learning, we'd love to hear from you.
