Deaf & Hard of Hearing Student Support Para / Educational Interpreter – Lynnwood, WA
ProCare Therapy is hiring an American Sign Language fluent professional to support Deaf and Hard of Hearing students in the Lynnwood area.
Fluency in American Sign Language is required for this position. This role can be filled at either the paraprofessional level or the certified educational interpreter level, and pay will depend on the candidate’s qualifications.
Position Details
- $30.00–$50.00 per hour
- Pay depends on whether the candidate is:
- An ASL fluent paraprofessional without an interpreter credential
- A certified educational interpreter with the appropriate EIPA or RID credential and educational interpreting background
- Part-time or full-time
- 2, 3, or 5 full days per week
- Monday through Friday school schedule

- Weekly paychecks
- W-2 employment
What We’re Looking For
- Must be fluent in American Sign Language
- Comfortable communicating directly with Deaf and Hard of Hearing students throughout the school day
- Paraprofessional candidates do not need to hold an interpreter certificate
- Candidates seeking the higher interpreter-level pay should have the appropriate educational interpreter credential, such as qualifying EIPA or RID certification, along with the education and experience required for that level of role
- Experience working with Deaf and Hard of Hearing students is strongly preferred
- School-based or special education experience is a plus
- Reliable, professional, and able to maintain a consistent weekly schedule
Responsibilities
- Support Deaf and Hard of Hearing students in the classroom

- Assist with academics, transitions, routines, and student participation
- Help facilitate communication between students and school staff
- Work alongside teachers, special education staff, and other interpreters

The biggest requirement is true ASL fluency. Candidates without an interpreter credential may still be considered for paraprofessional-level positions, while certified educational interpreters may qualify for the higher end of the pay range.
