Who Are We?

Horsham District Wellbeing is a friendly and impartial service which comes from your local authority and other partners. Our aim is to provide support to adults aged 18+ looking to improve their health and wellbeing. Our trained Wellbeing Advisors offer one-to-one appointments for those wishing to quit smoking, reduce their alcohol intake, improve their nutrition as well as those wanting to get active and lose weight or have a Wellbeing MOT or NHS Health Check. All our services are free of charge. Appointments take place in our Wellbeing Hub in Horsham town, and across the district at outreach clinics.


The Role:

We are looking for people who can act as translators/interpreters during our Wellbeing Advisor one-to-one appointments with clients who speak little or no English. Appointments generally take place Monday-Friday 09:00 to 17:00.

What skills do I need?

Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate both verbal and written English into another language in an empathetic manner.
