PBS Volunteer Vacancies February, March and Beyond

Thanks to all those who’ve responded to the last volunteer news. We’ve had some ace new volunteers join our ranks, and we’ve got more opportunities for more people to get involved. If you’ve been meaning to step inside PBS in 2018, make it down during DRIVE LIVE – our live music week where PBS listeners come in, catch some live bands, and get amongst it. I’ll just leave this here....

ARTWORK BY KALINDY WILLIAMS 

As for volunteering roles at PBS, we’ve got them, and we’d love you to help out. Just read on down, and if there’s something you’d like to help with, you know what to do!

Rock A Bye Baby WITH KUTCHA EDWARDS

Kutcha is one of Australia’s most respected and inspiring singer/songwriters.  Fusing soulful music and a rich, powerful voice with his personal story, Kutcha’s songs reflect on life as an Aboriginal man in white Australia. His deep and rhythmic tones are that of a storyteller whose inspiring songs are full of passion and spirit that evokes a connection to an intimate and resilient songline. And it’s Kutcha who stars at the next Rock A Bye Baby, the daytime gig for children and carers at the Fitzroy Town Hall in February. We’re looking for trustworthy volunteers, who like helping people! Seeking access volunteers to help patrons access the venue. Note: This is a physical role – helping parents and children by lifting/carryng pushers up and down stairs. Email mara@pbsfm.org.au to volunteer.

PBS Policies and Procedures

It is important for all volunteers and staff to be familiar with this. See the P&P here and http://pbs.org.au/policy. The Policies and Procedures Handbook ensures that PBS remains in safe compliance with the Codes of Practice and other relevant legislation. It also positions PBS volunteers, announcers and staff to operate with a shared, clear understanding of how things work at PBS. Please read it carefully. And if you’re inspired, why not consider becoming a PBS shareholder? The AGM is held in November.

PBS acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we are located 

and we pay our respects to them, their culture, and their Elders past and present
