UNHCR Moldova is seeking a dedicated Online Volunteer to support our communications team by translating and proofreading materials from English to Romanian. Your work will help ensure that information about refugee rights, services, and opportunities is accessible to communities and partners across the country.

- Translate documents from English to Romanian (and occasionally Romanian to English)
- Proofread Romanian-language materials to ensure clarity, accuracy, and consistency
- Maintain a coherent tone and style across all translated content
What we’re looking for:
- Native-level Romanian and fluent English
- Professional translation experience or a degree in translation, interpretation, or a related field
- Strong attention to detail and cultural sensitivity
- Familiarity with humanitarian or refugee-related terminology is an asset
You will receive regular briefings, reference materials, and flexible deadlines to fit your schedule. This role is voluntary and fully online, offering a meaningful way to support refugees from anywhere.
