Jim Brearley-Ratcliffe
Conservation Carpenter
Jim is a carpenter and building conservator, an advocate for traditional crafts and a Fellow of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. He lives in the White Peak region of Derbyshire, where he spends most of his time in his workshop or running with his dog on the hills. This will be his second season at Port Lockroy. What he finds most enriching about the Antarctic Peninsula is seeing such an abundant, varied ecosystem succeed in the most unyielding landscape on the planet.
Work for us
Join the UKAHT team
We have small dedicated teams in Antarctica and the UK who work hard to keep our operation going, preserving our Antarctic heritage and sharing it with the world. Each year we recruit a team to run and manage Port Lockroy in Antarctica and occasionally also have vacancies for other specialist roles in the UK. Job vacancies are advertised on this website and on social media. Check out our jobs page for up-to-date vacancies. We politely ask that you keep an eye on these pages for any updates rather than contact us directly.
