Job Description
IRC
BACKGROUND: Founded
in 1933, the IRC is a leading nonsectarian, voluntary organization providing
relief, protection and resettlement services for refugees and victims of
oppression or violent conflict. One aspect of the IRC is to assist refugees
resettling in the United States. The IRC opened a Denver office in 2016 to
provide reception and placement services to newly arrived refugees. The office
is slated to resettle more than 600 refugees in the coming federal fiscal year.
Wraparound program services and holistic supports aim to realize positive
impact in clients’ safety, health, education, economic wellbeing, and power.
Some services are limited to refugees and other Office of Refugee Resettlement
(ORR)-eligible populations, while others are open to a broader population of
refugees, immigrants, and forcibly displaced people. The IRC in Denver’s approach is client-centered,
empowerment-focused, trauma-informed, and multigenerational. Advancing racial
equity and narrowing the gender gap are priorities for the IRC in Denver.
JOB OVERVIEW: On an occasional, on-call basis, the Amharic Interpreter provides language assistance services for clients to
support stabilization and integration. They work in close coordination with IRC
staff to provide in-person and/or remote interpretation to facilitate services
provided under the Reception & Placement (R&P), Matching Grant (MG),
and Colorado Refugee Services Program (CRSP) Reach Program guidelines. The Pulaar Interpreter adheres to standards of professional conduct for interpreters,
assuring accuracy, impartiality, and confidentiality in their efforts to meet
the language needs of Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals and service
providers, both internal to IRC and external in the community. Activities
include providing professional interpretation services, supporting clients with
community navigation and resource connections as assigned, tracking information
and data in software systems as requested, and participating in service
coordination, trainings and assessments as requested. The Amharic Interpreter
may also assist in other instances in which a client requires an interpreter,
as determined in consultation with the Interpretation Coordinator.
