About the Role

Interpreting demand is particularly high within NHS and community healthcare services across Sheffield, including Sheffield Teaching Hospitals and Sheffield Health and Social Care services.

Applications are also welcomed from British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters, including qualified RSLIs and trainee TSLIs.
