Deaf
Umbrella aim to provide a solid support network to our staff that will in
turn serve the Deaf community efficiently and effectively. We
believe, see, hear and feel that trained professional, committed and
motivated people climbing the career ladder of the professional Interpreter offer a
level of competence that can alleviate frustrations in situations where
Deaf and hearing people interact. |
All applicants will be required to attend a two stage interview. We
will ask you about your background and your ability to meet our employment
needs. We will test your production and receptive skills in BSL, your deaf
awareness, knowledge of deaf culture and history.
We do not employ everyone we meet, it is an involved interview and only
the best or those with potential get through. On application
we
ensure that each individual is suitable for the position they are applying
for. We discuss the domains and environments in which we work, and the
company expectations of each employee.

What our staff say about us..

Thank
you for all your support and advice, you have shown me how to believe in
my judgment and guided me through a maze of information. I see
that I am making a difference and it's good! Joanne

Thank
you for everything you have given me, including my confidence! You
need to gain experience to become a good interpreter. You have
guided me through with realism and understanding. You have always
supported me with any issues I have wanted to address by providing
training and showing me how to develop support strategies. I am
looking forward to my next step to Interpreter status and will miss
you. I hope everyone walks your way when they start out.
Thanks once again. Paula

I have enjoyed my time working with you, being part of the
team. I have benefited and grown through Staff Development even if the
evening sessions were difficult to make on time! It took me a while to
realise the importance of feedback; you value this so highly. I am now
unable to complete a booking without evaluating my performance and critical
thinking. You are right, you do have to be a master in your own
language before you can interpret into another, my A Level English course
starts soon... thanks for everything! I will keep in touch.
