Ongoing applicant pool
This posting is an ongoing applicant pool for future and current interpreter demand.

VoiceLine LS reviews applications against client demand and qualification requirements, and only selected candidates will be invited to the next stage.

About the role
VoiceLine LS is accepting applications from qualified Mende interpreters for remote, on-demand interpretation opportunities supporting clients worldwide.
Mende is principally associated with Sierra Leone. These locations describe major language communities and do not restrict eligibility: this opportunity is remote worldwide and open to qualified applicants globally.
This is a freelance independent-contractor opportunity, not a salaried or guaranteed-hours position. Interpreters provide live services on both audio and video calls and may choose when they are available. Call volume varies based on client demand, language, time zone, qualifications, and performance.
