British Sign Language (BSL) Interpreter - Homebased or In-Person

We are looking to expand our language bank to ensure we can make volunteering with us as accessible as possible! This could include joining a 1-hour induction call (online or in-person), or joining the volunteer for their shift. Our inductions and shifts are always led by a trained member of staff / volunteer. There is no weekly commitment required, and we can arrange inductions/shifts to suit yourself and the volunteer.

Travel details

There is the opportunity to complete this volunteering from home, by providing language support during our online inductions. To volunteer on-site, you can find us on 11 West Granton Road, Edinburgh, EH5 1HG. We are the old school building just off Granton Square.
