Medical Interpreter - Translator (Spanish)

The Short Term Temporary Medical Interpreters/Translators positions will support the work of the permanent Public Health Medical Interpreters/Translators, by providing coverage for planned and unplanned leave.  This is an opportunity for individuals to experience working in a Public Health Clinic on an "as needed" basis, to determine if this is the type of environment they would like to work in full time.   These positions also provide flexibility, as there is no fixed schedule, and applicants may be looking for part time work and a flexible schedule.  We offer mostly full day work assignments, rather than single, short appointment assignments.

Commitment To Equity and Social Justice
Named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the most influential civil rights leaders in our nation's history, King County is a vibrant international community with residents that represent countries from around the world. It is a region with increasing diversity that cherishes the traditions of many cultures.
 
The county government has a deep commitment to equity and social justice and advancing practices, strategies, and policies that promote fairness, justice, and opportunity for all – in our workplaces and our communities. With this commitment, King County has adopted a pro-equity agenda to advance regional change and ensure that residents from all communities are incorporated into our emergency planning and public outreach efforts.
 
We recognize that structural racism consists of principles and practices that cause and justify an inequitable distribution of rights, opportunities, and experiences across racial groups. Since declaring Racism is a Public Health Crisis in June 2020, King County and Public Health committed to being intentionally anti-racist and accountable to Black, Indigenous and People of Color communities.
