Volunteers

Youth Radio Rocks has a robust volunteer recruitment programme and by asking to become a volunteer, you will be sent all the details to complete and return. As well as the declaration that volunteers have to complete, additional terms and conditions apply and are below.

  • Youth Radio Rocks reserves the right to submit volunteers to CRB checks if considered necessary and appropriate. Any associated costs are to be born by the volunteer. A volunteer check is free but there is an administration fee of between £7 to £12 levied by the chosen checking body or agency. Any such checks will be with your prior permission and are NOT done automatically. Under 18s need their parents permission to become a volunteer and can only be in the studio / at events when a CRB certified member of staff or volunteer is also present.
  • Youth Radio Rocks reserves the right to introduce a subscription scheme to help ensure that some of the running costs are met and that the service is maintained. All volunteers will be informed of this if it becomes appropriate well ahead of any implementation. The Youth Radio Rocks directors reserve the right to grant subsidised or free membership to individuals who can provide evidence of hardship, or who have demonstrated an outstanding level of input into the station.
  • Volunteers conduct themselves in a fit and proper manner at all times
  • Volunteers and visitors to the premises should be treated with respect and made to feel welcome. Discrimination, harassment and use of profanities will not be tolerated and will invalidate volunteer status
  • All on air volunteers must read and ‘sign off’ on the Youth Radio Rocks style guide
  • Volunteers under the age of 18 must have a filled in declaration consent form signed by their parent or guardian
