Trustee vacancy – United Kingdom Antarctic Heritage Trust

We are the United Kingdom Antarctic Heritage Trust and our aim is to connect people with the wonder of Antarctica and its stories of human endeavour to help promote a greater understanding of this phenomenal place and the role we all have in protecting it.

We conserve Antarctic heritage by looking after six designated historic sites on the Antarctic Peninsula and by working with Antarctic policy makers on heritage and conservation.

Through creative programming, we use these remarkable stories to explore Antarctica and why it matters to us all, helping current and future generations discover, understand, value and protect this precious wilderness.

We are looking to strengthen and enhance our Board of Trustees with new skills and ideas and the energy to deliver our vision. We are seeking individuals who are inspired by the potential of our vision and have the expertise, networks and creativity to build support for our work

We want people with a passion for Antarctica who can offer a commitment to our vision, mission and values, a way of working which demonstrates this and an enthusiasm to share it with others.

We are looking for expertise in the following areas:

• Strategic thinking and leadership,
• Entrepreneurship and innovation,
• Networking and profile-raising,
• International perspective and/or operational experience in Antarctica
• Successful achievement of fundraising and/or commercial goals.

We are keen to promote strong principles of equality and diversity and encourage  applications from people of all backgrounds.
