Role-player or Rehearsal Interpreter
Some of NAATI’s interpreting tests are delivered by live role-play. We recruit role-players and rehearsal interpreters who are native speakers of their language and also enjoy acting, to play the role of someone who needs interpreting services during a test, or to act as a candidate, allowing role-players to train.
During an interpreting test, two role-players will engage in a conversation based on prompts provided by NAATI while a test candidate interprets for them.
As most of our testing is online, we can recruit role-players from anywhere, but prefer those based in NSW, Qld, Vic and WA so they can connect with our state offices. Recruitment is as needed to meet testing demand, and the roles are filled on a casual basis.
