Spanish speakers needed for paid recording work

We are an educational publishing company, producing resources for schools in the UK. We require 1 male Spanish native speaker to record podcasts and dialogues for educational resources in Spanish. You will be asked to come to a recording studio (postcode BS2 9EB), sit in a soundproof recording booth and read out some transcripts in Spanish.

Requirements

Applicants must:

Be a native speaker of Spanish with a clear, neutral accent (this is essential for teaching resources – unfortunately we can’t accept strong regional accents)
Be able to speak clearly, loudly and slowly (most of the transcripts will need to be read out slowly so they can be understood by English students)
Have communicative English (you will be given instructions in English)
Be available on Wednesday 14th February 9am–5pm
Be organised and be able to work efficiently (we have a lot of recordings to get through in a limited amount of time)

No previous recording experience is necessary. You need to arrange own transport (travel costs are not refunded).

Pay

£8.45 per hour (£9.47 per hour including holiday pay)

To Apply

Please send your CV to Ellena Heywood, at EllenaHeywood@zigzageducation.co.uk.

Please confirm your availability for the aforementioned date and confirm that you are a native speaker.

Applications are open until Tuesday 23rd January.
