Join the team at Radio DGH Eastbourne! We’re always keen to hear from enthusiastic volunteers who can bring their skills, ideas and energy to the station.
We’re particularly interested in hearing from people with technical skills to support our engineering and IT team. Other opportunities include fundraising, publicity and marketing, and local news.
Whatever your interests or experience, we’d love to hear how you could help.

All new members must complete the Hospital Trust’s volunteer checks, including DBS checks and references, as the role involves access to areas of the hospital. These checks help protect volunteers, patients and the Trust. You will also attend an induction and receive a health and safety briefing.
Registration can take as little as three weeks, although timings depend on how quickly you provide the required documents and the checks are completed. Once registered, you’ll receive your red lanyard and begin training as a hospital volunteer.
You’ll learn through practical experience, working alongside a presenter during live programmes. Training progresses at your pace, with support from your mentor. When they feel you’re ready, the Programme Controller will assess you. If successful, you may have the opportunity to present your own show, if that’s your ambition.
After your first year, we ask volunteers to pay an annual subscription of £30. Alongside the time and enthusiasm you give, this contribution helps keep Radio DGH on air.
