About The Position

SEU is seeking a licensed American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreter to provide in-person interpretation services for hearing-impaired TUSD staff. This role primarily supports one full-time and one part-time hearing-impaired teacher, with additional one-off assignments for other hearing-impaired staff throughout the school year. The work environment is a K-12 public school, requiring a high standard of professionalism, confidentiality, and reliability. The assignment is on-site at TUSD school sites and is on an as-needed/recurring basis.

Requirements

• Current Arizona ASL interpreter licensure (per Arizona statute governing interpreter credentialing) — required before any assignment begins.
• Ability to pass a criminal background check per A.R.S. §15-509.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a valid Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card per A.R.S. §15-512, prior to assignment start.
• Reliable transportation to travel between TUSD sites as needed (personal vehicle use permitted for travel to assignment location only — interpreters may not drive or operate a TUSD/District-owned vehicle).
• Valid Arizona driver's license and personal auto insurance, if driving is required to reach assignment sites.

Nice To Haves

• RID certification (or equivalent nationally recognized credential) strongly preferred.
• Prior experience interpreting in an educational (K-12) setting strongly preferred; experience interpreting in professional/institutional settings (courts, municipal, healthcare) considered relevant.

Responsibilities

• Provide real-time, in-person ASL interpretation for assigned hearing-impaired teacher(s) during instructional periods, staff meetings, parent communications, and other work-related interactions.
• Respond to one-off interpretation requests for other hearing-impaired TUSD staff as scheduled by the District.
• Maintain accuracy and neutrality in interpretation; do not editorialize, summarize, or omit content.
• Adhere to TUSD site procedures: visitor sign-in, badge requirements, campus safety protocols.
• Maintain strict confidentiality of all student, staff, and District information (FERPA).
• Report any scheduling conflicts, site issues, or concerns to the SEU Account Manager and TUSD supervisor promptly.
• Arrive punctually and be prepared for the full duration of scheduled assignments.
