Sign Language Interpreter (ASL) | Taylors, South Carolina

Job Description

Job Description

Step into an engaging educational environment as a Sign Language Interpreter, supporting two middle school students in a multi-categorical classroom setting. This rewarding contract position will run through May 27, 2027, offering full-time hours (37.5 per week) throughout the academic year.

In this role, you’ll facilitate seamless communication for students, ensuring they fully participate and connect with their learning community. Both students are seated closely together, so your interpreting skills will serve them during shared classes. One student is on the spectrum and may occasionally exhibit behavioral challenges, but rest assured there is a dedicated behavioral support professional already in place. Your focus will remain on interpreting; however, should you wish to enhance your comfort, optional CPI or behavioral training is available through the district. For one block period where the students’ schedules differ, you’ll accompany the student with the behavioral plan to their separate class.

Desired Qualifications:

• EIPA score of 3.5 or higher (required per South Carolina state guidelines)
• Successful completion of the EIPA written test
• Minimum of a high school diploma
• Ability to pass a background check
• Willingness to review and sign the SLI Code of Ethics (can be completed during onboarding)
• Previous school interpreting experience is advantageous

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide clear, accurate interpretation between spoken English and ASL in academic and social settings
• Adapt interpreting style according to students’ needs and classroom activities
• Collaborate with educational staff to ensure students' access to curriculum
• Maintain confidentiality and adhere to professional standards

This opening provides the satisfaction of supporting student success in a collaborative and inclusive setting. If you’re ready to make a lasting impact, apply now to bring your expertise and enthusiasm to this meaningful assignment!
