Work experience placements are a great way for people to get a taste for working in community media. We are happy to look at any request for a work placement, but sometimes we are not always able to accommodate everyone We prioritise placements for individuals that face disadvantage or are underrepresented in the media.
Our premises are fully wheelchair accessible.
Work experience placements are typically for the role of Broadcast Support Worker and are usually Monday to Friday between 10am and 3pm.
At 10am each day we have a daily news meeting. People on placement will take part, so should make themselves aware of the local, national and international issues of the day and be ready to contribute to the discussion.
During the rest of the day they will get involved in booking guests, creating radio content, and contributing to the day to day life of a radio station.
In addition, most work placements will involve working on the front desk where you will
Greet visitors to the station
Answer the telephone and take messages
Take guests through to the studio
Book studio space for volunteers
There will also be opportunities to:
Make your own 30 minute show to be broadcast on the radio

Learn how to use the broadcast studio
