Full job description

British Red Cross volunteers and staff help families who have been separated by armed conflict, political upheaval, natural disaster or migration to get back in contact with each other. In these situations, communications often break down and families become separated. As a result, people do not know where to turn to find a missing relative or how to get a message to them. Knowing what happened to family members left behind or who have migrated around the world is vital. Our Interpreter volunteers provide an essential communication link between people who use our service and the volunteers and staff supporting them. Many do not speak English as their first language and rely on high quality and confidential interpretation and translation to relay their personal information. We help them to find a way forward at a what can be a difficult and distressing time. We would like you to: - Be available to volunteer on a regular basis. - Be available to volunteer for a minimum of 4 hours per week between Tuesday to Thursday, 9am to 5pm. - Be fluent in communicating and translating in Oromo, Amharic, Somali and Tigrinya. The ability to communicate in multiple languages is desirable, but we welcome applications from volunteers who are fluent in at least two of these languages. - Have a good standard of spoken and written English. - Be able to commit to volunteering for a minimum of 12 months. - Have access to a smartphone and computer if possible. This is a remote role, and calls will take place either by phone or via Microsoft Teams video. You’ll need to be comfortable using these platforms. Potentially, there will be a need to attend one of our offices in Manchester (M16 9HQ) or Liverpool (L3 4BJ). We would be particularly interested to hear from you if you have experience of being a refugee or asylum seeker. Diversity is something we celebrate. We want you to be able to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross and feel that you belong. We want to create an inclusive environment, and promote and spread the power of kindness. As part of creating an inclusive space we have an expenses policy that prioritises volunteers not being out of pocket for expenses linked to your role. If up front costs are difficult, you can speak to your volunteering manager about this to find alternatives. We welcome refugees, asylum seekers and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us. We want volunteering to be accessible to everyone. **Health and Safety Statement** We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety. We may ask you to complete a simple risk assessment and will also have a conversation with you to discuss and identify any adjustments you may need. *Unfortunately, we can’t accept applications from 15 – 17-year-olds for this role. Please get in touch and we can support you to find another role in your area.* If you have any questions before applying, please contact us at [[email protected]](url)
Why we want you: We are looking for empathetic and professional interpreters who inspire confidence that conversations are being interpreted correctly and anything written, including people’s messages to family, is being translated accurately. Our Interpreter volunteers are friendly and welcoming and enjoy being part of our supportive and diverse team. Due to the intensity and complexity of parts of our services, it is essential that our Interpreter volunteers work to the highest standards so that we can provide a safe, high quality and effective service.
