AUCHINDRAIN TOWNSHIP DUTCH TRANSLATION PROJECT

We are looking for one female OR male Dutch-speaking volunteer. You will be a native speaker (or equivalent level) of Dutch language.
Ideally, you will be about to start, in the course of, or have completed, a University degree. You will be a fluent and grammatically-correct writer in your mother tongue. You will have good spoken and written English, and be interested in finding out about places like Auchindrain Township and the way of life of its people. Volunteers find the experience of volunteering in the Auchindrain township immensely rewarding, but the environment can be challenging: emotional and mental strength are needed.
Your main task will be to familiarise yourself with the Auchindrain township and its story, and then to retell this by translating the museum’s interpretive information from English into Dutch language. You will also have the chance to get involved in other aspects of museum life to provide a break from the translation work. Normally, you will be working indoors and will be expected to work 5 days a week from 8.30am to 5pm, with a 30 minute lunch break.
Two weeks of the placement are expected to be spent on secondment to the museum on the island of Islay.
