About the role
At Interpreter Services, we call on a pool of interpreters dedicated to interpreting for non-English speaking and Deaf patients. The Interpreter Services booking team coordinate arrangements between the health professionals and the interpreter to ensure the patients have an independent interpreter present at the appropriate time and location. We are always on the lookout for trained interpreters and particularly speakers of both Farsi, Russian and Korean, but we have a demand for many other languages as well.
Most of the requests for interpreters are at Christchurch Public Hospital and Christchurch Women's Hospital but we also get requests from Burwood Hospital, Hillmorton Hospital and Princess Margaret Hospital, some private practices, as well as home visits. At times the interpreters are required to phone the patient to, for example, remind/advise them of appointments or actually translate over the phone.
In this role, you will be responsible for:
- Accurate interpreting between the health professional and the patient
- Maintaining confidentiality and privacy for the patient at all times
- Acting in a professional manner at all times
- Punctuality when attending all appointments - this is critical
- Ensuring all timesheets are accurately completed and signed and returned to the Interpreting Services Office
About you

- Professionally trained in interpreting preferably in a medical environment
- A NAATI qualification (or working towards it), NAATI recognised qualification.
- Managing patient confidentiality within your community
- Ability to prioritise your time
- Ability to relate to people of different ages and different backgrounds
