We firmly believe, as do our partners, that Doncaster is the place to be with a bright future and ambitions ahead of it.

Shortlisting will take place week commencing 3rd July 2023 and its anticipated, interviews will be held via Microsoft Teams on the weeks commencing 17th & 24th July 2023.

This would ideally suit a person who is local to Doncaster due to the nature of the role. However, the service does offer clients the option of Microsoft Teams Video Interpreting, so applications from people not local to Doncaster, will be considered, but only to carry out these types of appointments and not face-to-face bookings. We do not employ anyone to carry out written translation work.
