Kilmarnock KA BE, United Kingdom HBSA Hospital Radio Full time £1 - £240 per year

We are looking for a volunteer radio presenter to broadcast a music-based or "chat" radio program from our modern studios within Crosshouse Hospital.

This is only for our Saturday 6.00pm to 8.00pm spot. Please think carefully about that time spot in particular - are you free on that day at that time most weeks ?

We are looking for an enthusiastic person of any age and background who feels that they have something to offer. Please only apply if you know that you are free for that time spot each week. (Please be aware that HBSA does not air any religious or political broadcasting at all so please do not apply with the intention of doing this). Also please bear in mind that we are very much in the "light entertainment" business.

Please think carefully before applying - you need to be free on Thursday evenings for interview and training sessions and then you need to be free on the actual day/time each week to do the show. Do not apply if these times don't work for you.

You don't need any radio experience, we provide full training at your own pace and for this opportunity you need only be available during the days/times above.

HBSA Radio broadcasts within Crosshouse hospital and is available globally online at and on many mobile apps.

This opportunity will suit - a cheerfull, confident, outgoing & chatty person who has more than a passing interest in music and radio and who is comfortable using a computer.

This opportunity will not suit - someone who is shy and retiring and does not like speaking in public and struggles with technology.

Please do not apply from outside of SW Scotland.

Responsibilities and Duties

Following interview and assessment you will be trained to independently operate our modern radio station. All our volunteers are radio presenters so if training is successful you would be producing and then broadcasting your own show.

Qualifications and Skills

You do not need any set qualifications for this role but this opportunity is best suited to clearly spoken, bright confident people who love music and have a genuine interest in radio. It will be a great help to be reasonably computer literate.

Experience

As previousy stated - no radio experience is necessary but we would like to know if you have any experience at all of the following. Radio, DJing, Hosting, Public Speaking, Performance of any kind. None of these is essential but any could be very useful.

Accessibility

The studios are wheelchair accessible but any volunteers using wheelchairs will have to supply a carer/assistant to safely work within the studios.

Benefits

HBSA is run entirely by unpaid volunteers and does not pay any wages or expenses. However after a successful period on air we will happily provide references for work or college and our opportunity can evidence a large number of skills.

Location

All applicants must be at minimum within SW Scotland and preference will be given to candidates in Ayrshire

PREVIOUS APPLICANTS

Previous applicants may apply - but do not reapply if you contacted us and then didn't reply to any of our emails or attend interviews.

Please note - If you are under 16yo you will need permission from your parent/guardian and you will need to be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times when at HBSA.
