Translators in Residence

A fee of £5000 is available for each individual residency, together with a small budget to develop and realise workshops and projects in schools and community settings, as well as at the Free Word Centre.

Requirements

Applicants must be practising literary translators.

At least one of candidates will work in a language that is widely spoken in the local community. In the local boroughs of Islington, Hackney, City and Tower Hamlets, these include: Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Greek, Gujarati, Punjabi, Somali, Spanish, Urdu and Vietnamese.

The role of the translator in residence will be both challenging and rewarding. Therefore, we're looking for a professional, practising translator, with an interest in and aptitude for working in schools and community settings, and a proactive, collaborative approach that will engage a wide range of participants and audiences.

Applications: Please send a CV and covering letter outlining why you want to be translator in residence at the Free Word Centre. Please include an outline of some initial ideas on how you would fulfil the project objectives and send to [email protected] by Friday September 6th.

Interviews will be held at the Free Word Centre on September 19th
