Fancy joining us?
Apple AM is looking to expand it's team once more by recruiting new members whose job it will be to visit the wards primarily during the day (but if you're only available in the evenings, that's still fine), promote the station, talk to the patients and collect requests to play later in the day.
This is part of our ongoing aim to promote the station and its wide variety of shows around the wards more.
If you can help get in touch.
