We need a Volunteer Sales Coordinator to build relationships with local businesses to secure advertising and sponsorship that supports Bedrock Radio’s charitable work   - Radio sales are a different form of Fundraising.

As we’re based in Queen’s Hospital, The arrangement with BHR Hospitals, is that ALL Bedrock Radio volunteers must be put through the BHR Hospitals Volunteer On-boarding process.
Bedrock Radio initially receive applications and hold an in person ‘informal interview’ to see if candidates are a good fit, and give them opportunities to ask questions.  - If they agree to join, we pass their information to BHR Hospitals for on-boarding. This process consists of a number of seminars to complete DBS, Occupational Health, Safeguarding & other on-boarding safety information.

This is not a fast process as BH onboarding seminars average once a month.
It’s taking on average 5 months to onboard a volunteer – Not all information is relevant.

Bedrock Radio may not start a volunteer until they have cleared the BHR Process & have collected their BHR ID Card.
