THE ROLE / TE MAHI
We are seeking a fixed term (January 2027-November 2027) part-time (Thursday & Friday) NZSL Interpreter. This role is based at our Auckland Campus in Kelston and reports to our Translator Interpreter Lead within our wider Communications and Languages Team. Although we are a school, this role is not student centric and doesn’t include any specialist educational interpreter responsibilities.
Staff Interpreters work flexibly in both face to face and zoom settings, in a stimulating variety of contexts. Our Staff Interpreters also use their bilingual fluency to translate information between NZSL and written English. The role also requires some video editing from time to time which we are happy to provide training for if this is outside your current skillset.

Only applicants that are legally entitled to work in New Zealand and can make themselves available for an interview will be considered for this position. We may look to interview prior to closing so please apply early.
