Haitian Creole Speaking Interpreter

About the Opportunity

Expansion International is partnering with our client, a healthcare interpreting and language services provider, to build out a team of Medical Video Remote Interpreters across multiple languages, including Haitian Creole. This is a newly scaling programme, so we are recruiting a number of interpreters as our client grows its remote interpreting capacity across the US healthcare system.The role sits fully remote and connects healthcare professionals with patients who are more comfortable communicating in a language other than English, primarily through video, with occasional over-the-phone sessions.

This is a genuine route into a career in medical interpreting. Full training is provided, and previous professional interpreting experience is a bonus rather than a requirement, provided you can demonstrate strong bilingual fluency and a real understanding of what interpreting involves.

The Role

As a Medical Video Remote Interpreter, you will facilitate clear, accurate communication between English speaking healthcare providers and Haitian Creole speaking patients, without adding, omitting, or changing the meaning of what is said. Sessions take place on camera, so a professional presence and a dedicated, quiet workspace are essential.

This is a client facing role. You will interact directly with patients and healthcare professionals in sensitive, and sometimes high pressure, medical situations, so composure, confidentiality, and cultural sensitivity matter as much as language skill.

Candidates go through a structured evaluation process (resume review, phone interview, recorded prescreen, a medical interpreting proficiency assessment, and a final interview), and successful candidates complete a foundations training programme before starting live sessions.

Key Responsibilities

•    Provide accurate, complete, and respectful video interpreting between English and Haitian Creole, with occasional over-the-phone sessions.

•    Facilitate communication faithfully, without adding, omitting, or altering the speakers' meaning.

•    Follow professional interpreter ethics, standards of practice, and company procedures.

•    Maintain confidentiality and comply with applicable healthcare privacy requirements.

•    Demonstrate cultural responsiveness and respect for differing backgrounds, communication styles, and patient preferences.

•    Maintain professional conduct before, during, and after each session, and use sound judgement around interpreter role boundaries.

•    Adapt to evolving technology, workflows, and service requirements.

•    Take part in required training, coaching, and quality related activities.
