About The Position

Impactt is seeking a Haitian Creole- and Spanish-speaking worker interviewer for a human rights assessment at an industrial site near Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in late November 2026. The interviewer will work alongside an experienced Impactt assessment team and conduct confidential interviews with Haitian workers to understand their experiences and working conditions. The assignment is expected to involve approximately 1–2 days of on-site fieldwork, plus a short project briefing and debrief.

This is a short-term consultancy assignment, not a full-time position. The successful candidate may also be considered for future Impactt assignments in the Dominican Republic and wider region where their language skills and experience are relevant.

• Based in the Dominican Republic, ideally within travelling distance of Santo Domingo.
• Excellent listening and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport with people from different backgrounds.
• Ability to handle sensitive information professionally and confidentially.
• Reliability, independence, and comfort working as part of an international project team.
• Availability for approximately 1–2 days of fieldwork in late November 2026, plus preparation and debriefing.

Nice To Haves

• Experience conducting individual or group interviews with workers or other potentially vulnerable groups.
• Worker or community engagement experience.
• Experience in labour rights, human rights, or social research.
• Experience with workplace assessments or investigations.
• Understanding of labour conditions and migrant-worker issues in the Dominican Republic.
• Previous experience as a social auditor is helpful but not essential.

Responsibilities

• Attend a briefing with the Impactt assessment team before the site visit.
• Conduct confidential worker interviews in Haitian Creole and Spanish, communicating with the wider assessment team in Spanish and/or English.
• Build trust and rapport with workers and support them to speak openly about their experiences.
• Work closely with Impactt's Lead Assessor throughout the assessment.
• Participate in team debriefs to share key observations from worker interviews.
• Accurately document and communicate relevant information from interviews while maintaining worker confidentiality.
