NHS Lothian & Borders Staff Bank - Interpreters Band 4 / Qualified Interpreters Band 6
NHS Lothian Staff Bank Supplementary Staffing Service is recruiting interpreter staff across the following specialties:
* Interpreters (Band 4)

We are seeking interpreters for the following languages: Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Dari, Farsi, Greek, Indonesian, Kurdish Kurmanji, Kurdish Sorani, Kurdish Badhini, Italian, Latvian, Pashto, Portuguese, Romanian, Ukrainian, Thai, Tigrinya, Turkish, Twi, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. For some languages, female interpreters are specifically needed in Women’s Services due to shortages.
Key responsibilities include providing exceptional patient care, delivering a high‑quality service, and consistently demonstrating the organisation's values. Work will be allocated on an "as and when required" basis with flexible shift patterns. No fixed hours are guaranteed; demand‑led service may require advance availability booking online or by phone.
