It’s really important that you do your research to find the right employer to work for. Unfortunately, there is no ready-made directory. It is helpful though to consider a prospective employer on three levels:

What is their industry?
What type of organisation are they?
What departments could I work for?

You also have to think about your own interests and skills. Even with translation, it will help to have experience in a particular field, as you might want to specialise in translating medical or legal documents, for example. And what about location? Do you want to have a job that is based in the UK or do you want to work abroad and travel?
