Karen Interpreter (In-Person) Jobs

Our organization is looking to fill an (alternatively: a part-time, 20-hour per week) on-demand Karen interpreter position to help serve the Limited English Proficient population in our communities through language services.

Most appointments are between 9AM - 5PM weekdays but we can be flexible as this is an ON-DEMAND position so hours may be infrequent at times.
