POSITION SUMMARY:
We are Tarjimly - a non-profit organization (NGO) in need of experienced translators and interpreters to serve our humanitarian clients.
We operate a mobile application where refugees, humanitarians, and immigrants in need can access high quality, remote, on-demand, volunteer translators and interpreters.
Our clients range from healthcare providers, attorneys, teachers, aid workers, etc. and they connect through our mobile app where they can send text, voice notes, pictures, documents, or get on a phone call. Our list of beneficiaries includes the International Organization for Migration (IOM), International Rescue Committee, World Relief, Cast LA, etc.
While our base services are free and use volunteer multilinguals, we also offer a paid subscription that offers additional features, as well as access to pools of paid interpreters for languages with fewer volunteers.
We are looking to hire paid translators for the languages that we don't have enough volunteers in. Currently, we are looking to hire paid translators for Sango, Lingala, Tigrinya, Karen, Kiche, Mam & Hmong.
All the translation work is on-demand, so you just need to wait for translation request notifications and if you are the first to accept the request, you will be connected to translate or interpret in real-time. We cannot control demand. It depends on the needs of the organizations using our app.
While you may receive very few to very many requests, the beauty of this opportunity lies in the fact that you have the flexibility of accepting or rejecting requests based on your availability, which provides you with the ability to take on other jobs simultaneously.
