Do you want to get involved?

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.

his 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.
