Looking for an Arabic translator to support our social workers!

Arabic translator

Don Bosco Rijswijk is a multicultural center just on the border of Rijswijk and The Hague. We provide activities for children and young people all year round. Cooking workshops, sports activities, holiday activities; and all of this largely supervised by volunteers!

Our social workers often come into contact with non-native speakers. We guide families and work with refugees. A common language is Arabic. We see that many families, volunteers and children do not yet speak much or hardly any Dutch and sometimes encounter difficulties in communicating. Google translate is useful, but often does not give the outcome we want. We are therefore looking for an enthusiastic volunteer who wants to help us translate. It is important that the person speaks Arabic and Dutch or English well. This way we can offer the children and their parents better guidance and ensure a pleasant experience when they visit our youth center. It should also be no problem to request a VOG (certificate of conduct) free of charge through our organization and you are open to new challenges.

This position is not for a fixed part of the week, but is flexible and on-call.
