HIAS Pennsylvania supports low-income immigrants of all backgrounds as they build new lives in our community. Through immigration legal services and an array of social services, we work to address their needs, defend their rights, and advocate for their equitable inclusion in American society.
HIAS Pennsylvania (HIAS PA) supports refugees, asylees, and other immigrants who have been persecuted due to race, religion, nationality, membership in a social group or political opinion, displaced from their home countries, and approved to live and work in the US. The interpreter will work closely with either the Social Services Division or the Legal Services Division. The Social Services Division has four programs including: the Reception and Placement program providing resettlement services to newly arrived refugees up to 90 days upon arrival; employment services supporting refugees in finding their first job and entering the workforce in the U.S.; the Immigrant Health and Wellness program providing intensive case management, group programming, and health navigation; and the education program providing ESL classes and youth programming for newly arrived refugees and asylees. The Legal Services Division works with both HIAS PA attorneys and representatives, as well as with pro bono attorneys who work at or are retired from law firms, businesses, educational institutions, and other organizations.
We are seeking qualified interpreters who can work with us remotely and/or in-person as a contract interpreter on an on-call basis. The interpreters will interpret consecutively and assist HIAS PA staff and clients during client intake/assessment, service planning, case management services, cultural orientation sessions, trainings, appointments, meetings, or community/cultural events.
We need interpreters for the following languages:
