Volunteer Audio Content Editor & Archivist

Role Title: Volunteer Audio Content Editor & Archivist

Location: Remote / Hybrid (Birmingham Studio)

Commitment: 2–4 hours per week (flexible)

About the Role:

Behind every great broadcast is high-quality sound. We are recruiting an Audio Content Editor & Archivist to clean, stitch, and organise our local audio assets. In this role, you will take the raw, on-the-ground recordings uploaded by our Volunteer Field Content Collectors and polish them into clear audio packages. You will work hand-in-hand with our Volunteer Radio Script Writers to ensure that final recorded interviews sync up perfectly with the introductory scripts read live on by our presenters. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Edit, clean, and level raw audio interviews and ambient sound bites captured by our Volunteer Field Content Collectors.
• Cut down long-form community conversations into short, engaging 1-to-3-minute broadcast segments.
• Work with Volunteer Radio Script Writers to format audio packages, ensuring live presenters know exactly when to introduce and cue recorded files.
• Maintain, tag, and catalog our digital audio archive so that classic community stories can be easily retrieved for future programming. 

What We Are Looking For:

• Basic experience using audio editing software (such as Audacity, Adobe Audition, or Reaper).
• A sharp ear for clean sound, with an interest in formatting audio for the unique demands of community radio.
• Reliable digital file organisation skills to manage the station's incoming media hub efficiently.
