Position Highlights
CLAS is hiring an Interpreter Scheduler (Language Access Scheduler) to join our team. This work impacts a variety of people — both internal customers (e.g., judges and coworkers) and external customers (e.g., people coming to court with limited English proficiency, attorneys, and other governmental agencies) who benefit from the services CLAS provides. Working for CLAS means you will be part of a team that ensures our courts can equitably deliver language services to all users.
In this role, you will conduct language assessments, receive and document requests for interpreters, schedule interpreters, and maintain lists of interpreters and agencies. You will recruit prospective interpreters, negotiate pay rates, assign interpreters to circuit courts statewide, and make travel arrangements for those traveling throughout Oregon or from other states or countries. You will also reassign or cancel interpreters based on courts’ frequently changing needs. In doing your work, you will communicate with judges, administrators, analysts, coordinators, court staff, attorneys, law office staff, and other users of interpreting services.
Additionally, you will provide administrative support by writing, sending, and filing correspondence, retrieving records, and conducting research. You will refer prospective interpreters to certification and training resources, help with video and interpreting equipment, and proctor exams. You will also answer and route phone calls and answer routine questions about court interpreter assignments.
There will be opportunities to participate in professional development activities and training, as well as to provide mentoring and assistance to others. You will spend part of your time working on special projects and maintaining a desk manual.
Assigned tasks may be changed to accommodate workload and organizational needs.
