We are always looking to strengthen our team with new talent.

However, BHBN operates a selective system of volunteer recruitment. We do this to ensure that we maintain our high standards of patient contact and broadcasting both now and into the future.

We do not ‘take people off the street’ and simply put them on air! We look for those who can make a meaningful contribution to our work over a reasonable period of time in our selection process.

This means that if you want to join us you have to demonstrate the potential for developing the basic competencies and commitment needed to be a volunteer at BHBN.

AS A VOLUNTARY ORGANISATION NO ONE IS PAID AT BIRMINGHAM’S BHBN!

 

What kinds of jobs are available?

Not only are we looking for broadcasting staff, but people who are prepared to do Production work, Administration, Publicity, I.T. and Odd Jobs.
