RSGB Maker Community Champion wanted

As part its ongoing strategy to take amateur radio to new and diverse audiences, the RSGB is delighted to advertise a new volunteer role.

This is an opportunity for someone to be an advocate for amateur radio within the maker community. The spirit of experimentation, curiosity and learning is common to both groups and the RSGB would like to foster greater crossover between the amateur radio and modern maker communities.

This crossover would be centred around hackspace and makerspaces, as well as larger events, but would also encourage individuals from each community to inspire and learn from each other. This role is intended to help take amateur radio to a new audience with an emphasis on how the licence would support other hobbies, rather than the promotion of traditional amateur radio activities.

To carry out this role you’ll need to be open to working with different communities, be proactive and organised, and be able to build a team and help it to work to achieve goals.

To find full details of the role read the vacancy description, and if you’re interested in applying or being part of a wider team, contact RSGB Board Director Mark Jones, G0MGX on g0mgx@rsgb.org.uk.
