The UK Antarctic Heritage Trust is looking for a committed, creative and highly skilled freelance Programme Manager to coordinate a nationwide programme of events and activities to mark the bicentenary of the discovery of Antarctica. The aim is to engage with audiences, who may not yet be aware of the history we share with Antarctica, with a programme of digital and creative interventions which explore the last two centuries of human involvement in Antarctica and to look forward to consider what the future holds for this unique continent.

The programme will be punctuated by some headline events around key historical dates. There will also be a high- profile social media campaign to develop a digital audience and engender debate. Other activities will include artistic contributions, special events and online activity. The emphasis for the programme will be to use the heritage to reflect on what has passed and what sort of Antarctica are we handing over to the next generation.
