Due to our rapidly expanding client base, Sign Solutions are growing our team!

Sign Solutions, established in 1998, is the leading provider of services for Deaf and hard of hearing people, 24/7/365.

As an ISO 9001 & 27001 accredited, Crown Commercial Service framework supplier, of non-spoken interpretation and translation, we provide experienced, NRCPD registered, DBS and BPSS checked, interpreters onsite, nationally and internationally.

Our innovative InterpretersLive! video relay interpreting service provides a British Sign Language interpreter, on demand, using a desktop computer or tablet.  Deaf employees have instant access to meetings and the ability to have phone calls with hearing customers and colleagues.

The same Interpreterslive! video relay service helps organisations become accessible to all Deaf consumers, via a link to our video service, from their website, which increases the accessibility rating of their website and allows Deaf people to call the organisations over the phone via a real time online BSL interpreter.

Our training centre provides qualifications in BSL, and CPD for British Sign Language interpreters. Our deaf awareness training can be delivered onsite or via e-learning.

We make videos and documents accessible to Deaf people by translating them into BSL; we provide a cost effective and efficient translation service.

Our aim is to assist organisations to become accessible to the Deaf community under the Equalities Act 2010, and the NHS can use video interpreting to meet the requirements of the Accessible Information Standard.
