Arabic Interpreter/ Translator RISE- Consultant

Introduction

At the start of 2021, IRC UK began programming in the UK. RISE is working in partnership with two local authorities (Hampshire and West Sussex) and in collaboration with local refugee agencies, to provide integration support to 200 resettled refugees in Southeast England. The project is funded by the EU’s Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) and Khalsa Aid International.

As we continue to develop the activities for the project, a number of resources for workshops and client outreach materials need to be translated from English into Arabic. The consultant will also be needed to provide verbal interpretation or support in facilitating workshops and individual meetings between the RISE staff and clients. The consultant will work closely with team members to ensure that spirit and consistency of messaging is achieved.
