Full job description

Do you want to make a difference to the lives of refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants? The British Red Cross is a volunteer led organisation and the UK’s largest independent provider of services and support for refugees and people seeking asylum. Our Interpreter volunteers help communication between people who use our service and our volunteers/staff supporting them, by providing confidential interpretation and translation. We help them to find a way forward and start their lives in a new country. We would like you to: - Be available to volunteer on a regular basis. - One day a week (Monday to Friday) from 10am to 4pm. - Be able to commit to volunteering for a minimum of 12 months. - Be able to speak Tigrinya fluently as well as an advanced level of English. - Experience of interpreting is desirable but not essential. We would be particularly interested to hear from you if you have experience of being a refugee or asylum seeker. *Unfortunately we aren't able to 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.* 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 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. 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 can inspire confidence that people’s messages are translated correctly and that their information will be kept secure.
