Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

The meetings will be related to child protection and humanitarian work in Ukraine.

The Global Child Protection Area of Responsibility is seeking the support of four volunteers to provide remote interpretation support in English - Ukrainian for meetings. The remote interpretation support may be consecutive or simultaneous, depending on the specific needs of meetings, and will be discussed with the volunteers before each meeting. The topic of the meetings will be related to child protection, children's rights and humanitarian work. The volunteers will be asked to start as soon as possible. The specific meeting dates and times will be discussed and agreed with the volunteers. The volunteers will be able to strengthen their knowledge of child protection in emergencies during the process of interpretation. The work of the volunteers is highly valuable and will allow to facilitate communication with Ukrainian-speaking stakeholders.

The volunteer should be fluent in English and ideally be a native speaker of Ukrainian. Fluency of Russian is an asset. A background in linguistics, interpretation, translation, child protection, children's rights or humanitarian action is an advantage. Previous experience of providing consecutive and/or simultaneous interpretation from and to Ukrainian is a strong asset. The volunteers will need to be flexible as their support may be required at short notice.
