Volunteer Radio Administration Support | Bay & Basin Community Radio

At Bay & Basin Community Radio, volunteers and staff work together as a team offering an eclectic range of music and program styles, providing an alternative to other mainstream media for residents of the Bay and Basin region and beyond to enjoy.

The station is an important part of BCR Communities, a community-led, not for profit organisation which has been serving the Bay & Basin community for 35 years. We broadcast out of the BCR Activities Hub in Sanctuary Point which also includes a newly revamped podcasting studio, music and arts hub and outdoor live performance area.

As this is a new volunteer role you will have the opportunity to shape the role and be fully supported by a team of dedicated volunteers and BCR staff.

This opportunity would suit individuals who have a friendly and positive attitude with strong interpersonal and communication skills; enthusiasm and curiosity for radio, media, and marketing (no formal experience is necessary); an ability to commit to a regular routine of hours each week, both on site and within community; organisation and administration skills including broad aptitude for computer systems and applications; reliability and ability to positively contribute to a team of community minded individuals and a valid drivers licence.

BCR supports and recognises volunteers throughout their time at BCR.

BCR is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all community members, importantly those who are vulnerable, children and young people. We have a zero-tolerance approach to child abuse. Given the nature of our services and the community members we support, volunteers will require a Working With Children clearance and NDIS Disability Worker Screening, which BCR will support you with throughout the recruitment process.
