Nursing Home Translation Specialist Trilingual (English, Mandarin & Cantonese Speaking).
Job Description
Our Long-Term Care Facility is looking to hire a Trilingual Translator fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.

What’s most important is ensuring all words interpreted are accurate and improve communication between healthcare professionals and the patient. This position is in person.
