We are looking for assistants for when the studio is
manned, mostly In the evening but there are a growing
number of daytime shows that will need assistance as
well.
This roll is for anyone who wants to get involved in
volunteering for a hospital radio but doesn’t want to
broadcast. General duties will be similar to a presenter
including:
i) Ward Liasing. This will include presenting prizes to
patients who have won competitions, or visiting a patient
to show them how to tune into RHB on Hospedia. There
are many other aspects to ward liasing which will become
apparent during the course of your roll.
ii) Assisting with Requestline. This is our flagship show
which is on air every evening. It may require someone
visiting the wards collecting requests from patients if the
request collector is unavailable.
iv) Fundraising. RHB is a self funded charity and has to
be able to raise funds for equipment, maintenance,
licensing, music and many other things. Most of the
funds are collected by donations but there will be times
that it isn’t enough.
v) Training. Assisting new volunteers with training.
Please note that a presenter will not be able to present
their own show until full training is complete, they will
however be able to present Requestline as part of their
training.
vi) Answering phone calls, emails etc. and general house
keeping in the studio.
This roll can be used as a back door into presenting.
whilst some people find it too intimidating to broadcast
on-air others can overcome their fears and turn out to be
excellent presenters.
