•$80 - $85

About The Position

CLFC Healthcare and Communications is building its Maryland roster of certified American Sign Language interpreters for assignments with government agencies across the state. Work is delivered in person at agency locations or by video, and interpreters may choose either or both assignment types. Assignments include public meetings and testimony, resident appointments at agency offices, employee meetings and trainings, and formal proceedings such as administrative hearings and investigatory interviews. Long, technical, or high-stakes assignments are staffed with two interpreters. This is per-assignment independent contractor work, not a salaried position. Assignments are offered and confirmed through CLFC's BRIDGE App, with the date, time, location or meeting link, expected length, and assignment type provided in advance. A named Program Manager from CLFC's Program Management Office serves as the single point of contact for scheduling, coordination, and payment.
