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 friendly, organised and approachable person to help support and develop our growing volunteer community. Working alongside RBV's co-founders, staff and existing volunteers, you'll help make sure people feel welcomed, supported and able to contribute their skills, ideas and experiences.

What you'll do

• Welcome and support new volunteers, helping them settle into their roles.

• Planning volunteer rota via internal channels

• Maintain accurate volunteer records and help coordinate opportunities for involvement.

• Organise regular volunteer meet-ups, training sessions and opportunities for peer learning.

• Keep in touch with volunteers, gather feedback and identify ways to improve their experience.

• Help make volunteering at RBV inclusive, accessible and welcoming to people from different backgrounds.

• Work with the wider RBV team to identify volunteering needs and support existing volunteer-led activities.

What we're looking for

• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a friendly and supportive approach.

• Experience supporting volunteers, community groups or working with people in a similar setting.

• Confidence organising activities, keeping records and using everyday digital tools.

• Initiative, reliability and the ability to work independently and collaboratively.

• A commitment to inclusion, community participation and RBV's values.

Experience coordinating volunteers, delivering training or supporting community projects would be useful, but isn't essential. We welcome experience gained through volunteering, grassroots organisations and lived experience.

We particularly welcome applications from people who are under-represented in the music, broadcasting and creative industries.
