Radio 2RPH is offering up to 3 opportunities to assist with various projects designed to grow our revenue and support base to a more sustainable level by enriching our relationships with listeners, donors, sponsors and bequestors.

We invite applications for one or all projects depending on an applicant's experience and time commitments.

We are a well-established, not-for-profit co-operative licensed to provide radio reading services in Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong. We provide around the clock AM, FM and digital radio services that include live readings by skilled volunteers of newspapers, magazines and books. We also provide spoken-word radio programs and podcasts that address a wide range of interests including disability, lifestyle, entertainment, health, arts, culture, economics, history, science, technology, religion, education and public affairs.

As a membership-based and volunteer supported organisation, across its 40 year history 2RPH has always been open and inclusive. We actively promote diversity and disability inclusion. With a small, professional workforce and a strong dedicated volunteer base, Radio 2RPH is a proud member of Disability Media Australia and the Australia-wide Radio Reading Network.
