About the role
Radio Buena Vida is a community-led internet radio station and arts platform championing under-represented voices through music and creativity.
We're looking for a creative, organised and enthusiastic person to help develop and coordinate our radio programming, events and collaborations. Working closely with RBV's co-founders and volunteer team, you'll help bring new voices and ideas onto the station and support the delivery of our wider creative programme.
What you'll do
-
Support the development and coordination of RBV's radio programming, including new shows, presenters and special broadcasts.
-
Help review new show applications, welcome new presenters and coordinate programme schedules and communications.
-
Develop creative ideas and opportunities for new programming, including our planned second radio channel.
-
Help organise events, workshops, collaborations and other creative activities.
-
Build relationships with artists, community organisations and creative partners.
-
Support the promotion of radio shows, events and opportunities through social media and other channels.
What we're looking for
-
Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
-
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a welcoming and collaborative approach.
-
Strong grasp of what and who is happening in Glasgow and beyond.
-
Broad knowledge of musical genres, music history, culture and an eye on the future.
-
Creativity, initiative and enthusiasm for developing radio programming and cultural activities.
-
Experience organising creative projects, events or community activities.
-
Confidence using digital tools, managing information and coordinating schedules.
-
An interest in independent music, community radio and RBV's inclusive values.
Experience in radio programming, working with artists or community organisations, or creating social media content would be useful but isn't essential. We welcome experience gained through volunteering, grassroots projects and independent creative practice.
We particularly welcome applications from people who are under-represented in the music, broadcasting and creative industries.
