The service

Professional language support, delivered four ways

A language requirement rarely arrives with notice. Servicebird takes the requirement — language, setting, date and time, and any specialist need — and matches it against a network of professionals whose compliance has already been verified, so the booking is a matter of availability rather than paperwork.

  • Document translationWritten material rendered into the required language, with the specialist vocabulary the setting demands.
  • Remote/video interpretationA professional joined to the appointment from anywhere in the network, for planned and short-notice need alike.
  • Telephone interpretationConnected on the line where an appointment is unplanned, urgent, or too brief to travel to.
  • Face-to-face interpretationOn site, in person, at the appointed place and time — for hearings, assessments, and appointments that require presence.

How it runs

Every assignment follows the same four stages through the Servicebird platform, whatever the service.

  1. 01 REQUEST The organisation submits a requirement — service, location, date and time, and any specialist need.
  2. 02 MATCH Servicebird identifies suitable compliant professionals on requirement, location, availability and specialism.
  3. 03 ACCEPT A suitable professional accepts the assignment through the platform.
  4. 04 DELIVER The service is delivered and managed through the Servicebird platform.

Common questions

Before you book

Which settings do you support?

NHS and healthcare, local authorities, education, courts and legal services, police and emergency services, DWP and government services, immigration and asylum services, social care and community services, and general public-sector appointments and meetings.

How is a professional matched to our requirement?

Servicebird matches on seven criteria: language, location, date and time, sector, specialist requirement, compliance and availability. A match is only confirmed once all seven are satisfied.

What compliance checks are carried out?

Professionals in the network are vetted against compliance, DBS, qualifications, experience, availability, location and performance, appropriate to the service they undertake.

Can you support short-notice requirements?

Telephone and remote/video interpretation are designed for exactly that — they remove travel from the equation, so availability is the only constraint.
