A community radio station is looking for keen volunteers to write local news stories for its website.

If you are interested in local radio and in news impacting West Berkshire communities, this could be a great opportunity for you.

Training will be given and there are existing sources for news which can be used.

As well as the chance to write new stories and learn how to operate the radio station website, is also the opportunity to broadcast on air, record stories and present shows.

This is a fun role which will entail paying a small subscription to use all the Kennet Radio equipment and be part of an amazing local team.

This role can be largely achieved at home, but there is the opportunity to use the Kennet Radio studio facilities in Broadway House, The Broadway, Newbury.

Broadway House is located at the northern end of Northbrook Street near the Clock Tower, opposite Domino’s Pizza.

What skills do I need?

Good writing skills are needed. Ability to operate common software tools such as Wordpress is helpful, but training can be given. Some local knowledge of the West Berkshire area is useful. A sense of being part of the local community and a wish to share interesting local stories is key.
