We’re looking for a trauma-informed content advisor to support the expansion of our Bloom project into Portuguese. You will be working alongside our Bloom team to support the recruitment of Portuguese translators and video presenters and will review their content in Portuguese to ensure it fits Chayn’s approach, style, and ethos.

About the role

Bloom’s courses were originally written in English, but we want to offer them in multiple languages to support many survivors across the world. We want our Bloom courses to be open to any Portuguese speaker, so it is necessary that they are translated in a way that is accessible, scientifically accurate and mutually intelligible to Portuguese speakers with a variety of national, cultural, and personal backgrounds.

The courses we will be offering in Portuguese are:

• Society, patriarchy, and sexual trauma
• Healing from sexual trauma
• Dating, boundaries and relationships

1. Reviewing applications for the Translation and Localisation roles and providing Chayn with feedback

Reviewing 6-8 x 500 word tasks and providing feedback

1. Reviewing one script per translator / localiser and providing Chayn with feedback

Reviewing 2-3 x 4000 word scripts, one from each translator, and providing feedback
