You will need at least three years post-qualification experience and be registered with NRCPD as RSLI.

You must be willing to share your photo and professional profile, and contribute to the ongoing running costs.

Relocating to London? We accept references from established interpreters and Deaf people in your previous region.

NoteReferences can be provided in BSL or English. If you cannot easily provide six references, we are happy to discuss alternative routes.
