• Meeting our clients face to face (if residing in Cornwall), or calling them on the telephone to support them by asking questions in their Polish language, which may relate to accessing our services and / or areas such as benefit claim help. 

• Attend meetings to translate discussions in person or on Microsoft Teams.

• Emailing Service Manager with the responses to pre-set questions / updates and enquiries from clients.
