This job is not paid
MKFM is seeking exceptional people to join our expanding team in our offices in Milton Keynes. We have a range of full and part time paid roles available, as well as several voluntary positions within the business.
You’ll be working as part of our team serving the community of Milton Keynes on the radio, online and on the streets.
MKFM is currently the only dedicated radio station for Milton Keynes on FM, on DAB Digital Radio and online. Through our station, website and social media we regularly reach over 250,000 people in the area every week.
As part of our expansion, we are also seeking new volunteers to work in the following positions:
Street Team
You’ll be the face of MKFM, representing us at community events across the city. Our street team have attended events such as EDC, West Bletchley Carnival and the MK Dragon Boat Festival. Interacting with the public, taking photos and chatting to listeners are a key part of this exciting and dynamic role.
Website Content Management
We’re seeking writers, editors and content managers to work on one of MK’s most visited websites. Whether you are looking to write local news articles, publish press releases, write reviews or upload podcasts, we would love to hear from you. Basic IT experience is a bonus but full training will be provided. Strong spelling and grammar skills are essential, as well as a keen eye for detail.
On-Air Presenters
We’re looking for new talent to present a range of programmes across the radio station. You could be co-presenting one of our highly successful daytime shows or even doing your own at the evening or weekend. Our programmes reach 84,000 people across Milton Keynes with even more via social media so this is a fantastic opportunity to develop your skills at a high-profile community radio station.
Please attach a link to your latest demo to your application. Please also be aware we are seeking presenters who will present our regular playlist output of the biggest hits from the 90s, 00s and Now. Applications for more ‘specialist’ shows are not currently being considered.
Mascot Performers
Samantha the Panther is our well known mascot who attends all of the biggest events across Milton Keynes. We’re looking for our next ‘performer’ to step into her paws and attend some of the biggest events with our street team. Absolutely no experience is necessary, just bags of enthusiasm!
Photographers
MKFM has attended over 500 local events since our launch in 2011 and we’re always on the look out for people to photograph our listeners when we visit them. You’ll be working alongside our street team and taking photos to be uploaded to our website and social media channels. We’re not seeking professionals - if you can do a simple point and shoot photo then we’re interested in hearing from you!
