Role Title: Volunteer Radio Script Writer

Location: Remote / Hybrid (Birmingham Studio)

Commitment: 2–4 hours per week (flexible) 

About the Role:

Writing for the ear is a unique skill—it needs to be punchy, conversational, and easy for a presenter to read live on-air. We are looking for Radio Script Writers to create the spoken-word content for Hope Radio Brum. You will transform raw local reports and community notices into tight, engaging 30-second to 2-minute scripts, bulletins, and show cues that our studio presenters read out to our listeners across South Birmingham. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Adapt raw local news, event listings, and interviews into conversational, easy-to-read broadcast scripts. 
• Write short community news bulletins, presenter link scripts, and introductory cues for recorded interview packages. 
• Collaborate with studio producers to ensure scripts match the timing constraints of live radio programming. 
• Ensure all broadcast material complies with standard Ofcom regulations (guidance provided). 

What We Are Looking For: 

• A creative writer who understands how to write text that sounds natural when spoken aloud. 
• The ability to edit information down into short, punchy, and engaging radio segments. 
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to work to flexible broadcast deadlines.
