Join the team

We'd love to have you on board

Wey Valley Radio is run entirely by local volunteers — and we’re always happy to welcome new ones. Whether you fancy being on air or helping out behind the scenes, there’s a place for you.

You don’t need any experience. You just need a bit of enthusiasm and some time to give — we’ll show you the rest.

Ways to get involved

There’s far more to a radio station than the voices on air…

🎙️

Presenting

Host your own show — music, chat, specialist programmes. Full training and studio support given.

🌐

News, travel, weather

Gather and read local news bulletins, or keep listeners up to date on travel and weather.

📡

Tech and broadcasting

Help keep us on air — studio kit, the stream, recording and editing. Great for the technically minded.

📣

Events and outside broadcasts

💬

Social media and web

Help tell our story online — posts, photos, and keeping the website fresh.

🤝

Register your interest

Just say hello

A few quick details so we can get in touch — we'll talk everything else through together.

What happens next?

We'll get back to you for a friendly chat about what you'd like to do, and usually invite you in to see the studio and meet a few of the team. No commitment, no experience needed — just come and have a look.
