Intro
As Deputy Station Manager you will be expected to assist the Station Manager in any way possible. You will be a second voice in all decisions, and a second pair of hands for all tasks. This could mean helping to chair meetings, organising events, or researching new ideas. This is a great role if you want to see, and influence, how every part of STAR works.
The Deputy Station Manager has usually been on committee for a year, and should therefore have a good understanding of how STAR is run, and which areas need the most help. This role assists everyone on committee, but also initiates new ideas.
Tasks
Tasks are likely to change each year, but will be roughly as follows:
- Assist the Station Manager wherever possible, and represent STAR whenever the Station Manager is unable to.
- Act as a main point of contact between Hearing Aid and STAR.
- Ensure that all members of the committee are given a fair and reasonable workload, that does not hinder their university studies.
- Actively attempt to secure nominations for various student radio awards.
- Host the “Office Hour” show at 5pm on Mondays.
- Help as much as possible with Freshers’ Fayre, Refreshers’ Fayre, show demos, and first show sit-ins.
