Sign Language Interpreter (ASL) | Fort Myers Beach, Florida

Job Description

Job Description

Degree in American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreting, certified ASL Interpreter credentials, and 1+ year of experience as an ASL Interpreter in educational settings. Applicants who do not meet these qualifications will not be considered.

Make a meaningful impact by providing communication access to students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (DHH) in an engaging school setting near Fort Myers Beach, FL. This full-time, onsite contract opportunity runs from August 11, 2026, to May 27, 2027, and offers the chance to work with K-12 students in dynamic 1:1 or small group settings. Assignment is typically at a single school site, allowing you to build relationships over the academic year.

Key Qualifications:

• Current, valid 3.0 EIPA score or higher, or possession of NAD/RID national certifications (highly preferred)
• Successful demonstration of sign language proficiency during a panel interview
• Up-to-date fingerprint clearance, ideally transferable via AHCA Clearinghouse—new prints arranged as needed
• Commitment to onsite presence, as virtual interpreting is not available for this role

Role Responsibilities:

• Facilitate effective communication for DHH students within educational environments, both in 1:1 and group contexts
• Interpret classroom instruction, discussions, assemblies, extracurricular activities, and other school functions
• Collaborate closely with teachers, support staff, and families to foster inclusive learning experiences
• Maintain confidentiality and comply with all applicable ethical standards and district policies

Enjoy the reward of seeing your skills directly impact students’ daily lives, all while working within a supportive network of educators and professionals. The role requires timely credentialing, as a JLA badge is necessary to start and can take up to 10 business days post-fingerprinting clearance.

Take this opportunity to advance your interpreting career and empower young learners in a vibrant Florida community! If you’re ready to contribute your expertise in American Sign Language within a K-12 school environment, submit your application today.
