Applications are now closed
The Bristol Cable launched in October 2014 and is now a co-op with over 400 paying members. We are currently volunteer run but aim to 
pay all those involved when we reach 1000 members. As we work towards this, we are calling people to join the volunteer team as we work to produce real media, owned and produced by people in the city.
For most roles you don’t need extensive and specific experience or a university education, just ideas and a commitment to the project! This will be hands-on learning with support.
As a volunteer, all travel expenses will be paid for and lunch will be provided as well as payment as detailed for specific roles.
