Opportunities
Breaking into media, broadcasting or journalism can feel out of reach — especially if you don’t already have contacts or experience. Our volunteer opportunities are designed to change that. We offer fully remote roles that allow you to gain real, hands-on experience from anywhere, while learning how the media industry actually works.
Whether you’re interested in radio, journalism, content creation, social media or behind-the-scenes production, our volunteer roles are built to help you develop practical skills, confidence and a portfolio you can be proud of. Full training and ongoing mentoring are provided, meaning you’ll be supported as you learn, grow and take your first steps into media. For many, these roles act as a genuine stepping stone into further opportunities, education or paid work across broadcasting, journalism and digital media.
Who these roles are for
Our volunteer roles are open to young people, students, creatives and aspiring media professionals, as well as anyone curious about how the media industry works. You don’t need previous experience — just enthusiasm, reliability and a genuine interest in media, broadcasting or journalism.
These opportunities are ideal for:
- Students or graduates looking to build experience alongside study
- Young people exploring a future career in media, broadcasting or journalism
- Aspiring journalists, presenters, producers or content creators
- Broadcasting hobbyists who already create content, present shows or love radio and want to take their interest further
- Creatives and storytellers wanting to build a portfolio and industry confidence
All roles are fully remote, with training and mentoring provided, making them accessible whether you’re just starting out, self-teaching, or looking to turn a passion into something more.
What you’ll gain
Volunteering with us is about more than just helping out — it’s about building skills, confidence and experience that genuinely matter. You’ll gain real, practical experience in a live media environment, not just observation or admin work.
Through our volunteer roles, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Learn how modern media, broadcasting and journalism operate in real-world settings
- Develop practical skills in areas such as radio production, presenting, journalism, digital content and social media
- Receive training, guidance and one-to-one mentoring to help you grow at your own pace
- Build a portfolio of work you can use for college, university, job applications or further opportunities
- Use your experience with Devote Radio as a reference for education, employment and media-related opportunities
- Fit your volunteering around media, journalism or creative coursework, helping you gain practical experience alongside your studies
- Gain confidence, communication skills and experience working as part of a media team
- Turn a hobby or interest in broadcasting into something more structured and professional
Whether you’re aiming for a career in media or simply want to develop your skills and explore a passion, these roles are designed to help you take meaningful steps forward.
