Job Description
Interlingva is an agency that supplies interpreters and translators throughout the US. It serves medical providers, insurers, public agencies and private firms, and is recruiting a Khmer interpreter. The listing records the job as full-time, but the posting describes an independent contractor role with flexible hours and steady work.
The interpreter works mainly in healthcare settings and converts speech going from Khmer to English and back again. Sessions take place entirely by phone or video call, with work arriving regularly based on demand for each language and the interpreter's credentials. Work can also come from medical, legal and community contexts, where the interpreter must serve doctors, patients, government staff and community groups.
Applicants should be fluent in Khmer and English and have a track record of accurate, complete and clear interpreting with high fidelity. Formal interpreter training, professional experience or both are needed, along with the ability to work well across cultures and language backgrounds. Interpreters must also be willing to obtain required medical clearances, such as vaccination records and background checks, when needed.
Interpreters need a working phone, a laptop or desktop machine, fast and steady internet, and a quiet private space for sessions.
