About The Position
The Yiddish Telephone Interpreter handles on-demand calls and conveys the meaning of conversations between Yiddish and English speakers. Interpreters serve clients in healthcare, government, insurance, finance, utilities, travel and hospitality, general business, law enforcement, courts, and 911 services. Calls may cover simple or complex, technical or non-technical subjects. This role involves verbal interpretation, not written translation. The interpreter works remotely from a home office and must maintain a quiet, secure workspace. The role requires prompt, accurate, professional, and culturally sensitive interpretation, adherence to established protocols and client instructions, and the ability to remain neutral and composed during sensitive, emotional, or emergency calls. Calls may be lengthy and uninterrupted, and call volumes may be high. This is an independent contractor position that pays $0.75–$0.90 per minute and is not eligible for employee benefits. The company provides interpreter support, an employee referral program, and advancement opportunities.
