HBSA Radio provides the hospital radio service for Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock. We’re based within the Crosshouse Hospital building and we are often on the lookout for volunteers to help out by presenting entertaining radio programmes.
We are looking for volunteers to broadcast music-based or “chat” programmes. We are keen to fill our timetable with enthusiastic people of all ages and backgrounds who feel that they have something to offer.
Our studios are wheelchair accessible and we currently have a number of presenters who use wheelchairs. Please be aware that we would need to be sure a wheelchair user could operate safely within the studio area, and if not, then the volunteer would need to bring a support person with them as we have no on-site assistance at all.
You don’t need any radio experience, we provide full training at your own pace, and typically, our volunteers only need to spare two or maybe three hours per week. The vast majority of our volunteers had no experience of radio prior to joining the station.
The station has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere – so why not try something different? If you’ve got a little spare time and are interested in voluntary work, then this could be the rewarding role for you!
This opportunity will suit a bright, confident, outgoing, chatty person who has more than a passing interest in music and radio.
This opportunity will not suit someone who is quiet, shy and retiring and does not really like speaking in public.
18+ Years Old, that makes you a regular member of the team, you can do your show and vote at meetings and join the management committee etc etc
16 – 18 Years Old, you can do your show and vote at meetings in fact everything as above except join the management committee
Under 16 years old. You can apply to join but you would need to be accompanied by an (over 18) family member at all times when attending the station (we have had a LOT of success with this so don’t let it put you off)
Also, it is important to note that we do not accept volunteers to “just help out” as all our volunteers, even our committee, are broadcasters. HBSA Does not have the structure to support work experience or “placements” of any kind.
Please only apply for membership if we have a vacancy and if you know that you are free to fill it – we do not operate a waiting list. Check the “Current Vacancies” list above, or ads we may have on Indeed Jobs, if we have none, then please wait until we do. If we have vacancies, then go right ahead and apply.
The very best way to apply to HBSA is to fill in this handy form, so go on then!
