FREELANCE OPPORTUNITIES:

Join Our Network of Freelance Interpreters & Translator

GREC Language Services is expanding its team of freelance interpreters to meet growing demand across the North East of Scotland and beyond. If you’re bilingual in English and another language and passionate about supporting communication across cultures and communities, we’d love to hear from you.

We offer flexible freelance opportunities, competitive rates of pay and the chance to make a real impact by helping people access vital services.

  • Are fluent in English and at least one other language
  • Have excellent communication skills and cultural awareness
  • Are confident working in settings such as healthcare, charities, and local government
  • Are available for flexible, freelance work during weekdays

Formal qualifications are not essential; however, prior experience or training in community interpreting is highly desirable.

Assessment Process
To maintain our high standards, all prospective community interpreters are required to complete a written and verbal assessment to demonstrate their language skills and interpreting ability. This helps us ensure quality and consistency across all assignments.

  • Hold a recognised degree in Translation or Interpreting
  • Have experience in legal, medical, or official public service interpreting
  • Operate with professionalism, impartiality, and confidentiality

Qualified interpreters do not need to complete our assessment but will still be expected to uphold GREC’s high standards of service and ethics.
