Job Description Full and Part Time Staff Interpreters

Sign Shares currently has 3 Staff Interpreter positions available. Staff Interpreters work
exclusively for Sign Shares. They are supervised, provided ongoing opportunities for training
and given first refusal for evening/weekend and emergency work. Sign Shares depends on
staff to insure availability of personnel regardless of qualification necessary or advance notice.
In return, Sign Shares consistently compensates staff at or above national standards, providing
a teamwork environment with an excellent wage and benefit package.

Duties and Position
Staff interpreters are hired to interpret or transliterate in a myriad of community and
educational assignments or in one specialty area, determined by personal interest and
qualification. Staff may work additional administrative support hours as "lead" mentor or for
special projects.

Full Time Staff are assigned work during regular business hours, enjoy full benefits (employee
status, regular payroll schedule, vacation, health, Workers Compensation, paid professional
fees, and training) and are given first priority when qualified for special events, after hours and
emergency assignment.

Part-time Staff Interpreters work flexible hours, determining their own availability. Some may
work an educational calendar or work primarily in another profession, while others may enjoy
the freedom of making commitments on a daily basis. Part time staff may or may not be
eligible for full benefits as benefits are determined by eligibility.

Qualifications Qualification and Compensation
Candidates must hold a minimum of an AA Degree in Interpreter Training and State or
National Certification. Seasoned, experienced interpreters and transliterators who have
worked in the field for 3 to 5 years and are "otherwise qualified" are also encouraged to apply.
Wages are based on education and certification, specialty training and years of experience. It is
not unusual for a full time staff interpreter to earn between 40 and 80K per year depending on
hours worked and qualification. Sign Shares will consider a moving benefit for interpreters
who may wish to relocate.
Compensation See Description
Number of Openings Three Staff Positions
