So you want to join the Commission Team?

As you probably know by now, Commission, based in Belfast, is staffed soley by volunteers, working part-time.
 We are currently moving in and setting up our new studios in Dundonald, East Belfast and we hope to announce their opening soon! Until then, we are asking anyone interested in joining our newly expanded team, to register your interest by emailing us your details and preferred areas of involvement. Go to the Contact us page for a list of email addresses.

Requirements: No previous experience is necessary as we will provide full training, however time, commitment and energy are essential! So if you are:
• committed to our aims and objectives,
• willing to commit some time to the work of Commission each and every week,
• are self-motivated,
• can work as part of a busy production team,
• live within reach of our studios...

we need YOU!
We have listed some of the possible opportunities below:

Positions Vacant:

• Programme / Drama Writers - for plays up to 1hr, or other formats
We urgently require those willing to produce the quality scripts that radio demands. Previous experience in writing for radio is ideal, though rare. Enthusiasm and time is required, though! Our dramas are often based on Bible stories, in 15 minute durations and for full productions: in 13 episodes.
(Go to 'programmes' to hear some of our previous examples)

• 'PFT' Writers - for Pause-for-Thoughts from 30 seconds to 3 minutes.
We need people to write short, attention-grabbing scripts. Previous experience is not essential, but having ways to catch the ear of the non-religious listener is. We usually have an attention-grabbing story with a evangelical punch at the end. Using short dramas, monologues, or spoof-adverts, thoughts (or PFT's) can be individual or in a series. (Go to 'programmes' to hear some of our previous examples)

• Internet Audio Engineer - for downloading, uploading and managing all online audio.
Our materials are increasingly despatched to and received from radio stations via the internet. This is a growing area which we need someone to develop. Previous computer or internet audio / streaming experience would be useful.

• Studio Technicians & Engineers - for Drama Crews and other programmes.
We provide full training 'on-the-job' and if you like working with sound, buttons, knobs and gadgets, this is the one for you!

• Drama Voices - out-of-vision actors taking challenging character rolls in radio drama prductions
Previous drama experience is useful, though not necessary.You will be expected to take part in a Voice Test, but don't panic... this is just to give us an idea of what charaters would best suit you and establish your previous experience.

• We also have a number of non-radio, admin and back-room jobs, which if you have the time, we have the post for you!!
