Hi there, us again.

Sadly (well, at least for us), our current Drivetime presenter has managed to escape our evil clutches and is moving onto pastures new. This means, of course, that we're in need of a new Drivetime presenter to help keep our listeners entertained while they're sat in the traffic around Birmingham (believe me, there's enough of it).

Who are we? Switch Radio is a community station based in North East Birmingham, broadcasting on 107.5FM, online, and on mobile. We broadcast to some of the most deprived communities in the Birmingham area. Our aim is to Educate, Entertain and Engage. We do this by providing a daytime mix that keeps listeners with us; once we've got 'em reeled in, we then deliver our community remit through a mixture of features, interviews and competitions. In the evening, we have a specialist schedule covering a diverse range of genres - gospel, heavy metal, jazz and EBM/steampunk.

You'll be coming in to host our Drivetime show that runs every day from 5pm-7pm. The show is currently broadcast live and preferably, we'd love to be able to keep it that way - we may be able to consider other options though if it is tricky for you to commit.

As a community station, you will probably know what's coming next. We're run by volunteers and operate as a not-for-profit, so we're afraid we won't be able to pay you real money that you can use in shops and stuff. However, you will be able to bag loads of experience in the UK's second city, and we'll give you feedback and help develop you as a presenter. You'll have the freedom to direct the show down avenues and with features as you see fit (within reason, obviously). Also, we will provide free tea, coffee and biscuits. Oh, and the occasional cake.

So, if this sounds like something that would interest you, then you should give us a shout. Feel free to drop us a line by email for informal enquires, or if you want to dive straight in, send us a demo that highlights your best bits. Please try and keep the size reasonable - nothing makes us cry more than 100MB attachments.

This job closed on 7 May, 2015 so we’re afraid you can no longer apply for this role.
