Interpreting Internships at THG Fluently

The goal of the internship is to provide you with hands-on experience of the language services industry in an agency environment. The internship aims to give you an opportunity to understand how to manage interpreting bookings for our clients, and to develop your organisational and communication skills.

We offer interpreting services to the public sector (such as the NHS) as well as to private sector clients. The Interpreting Team is divided into two sub-teams to look after these two client groups and you will predominantly work with the private sector.

• Processing and allocating interpreting bookings for our clients
• Sourcing and liaising with interpreters
