Astronomy Presenter, Science Theatre, Royal Observatory Greenwich

This is a very exciting period in the history of the Royal Observatory Greenwich as we embark on a once in a generation redevelopment project - First Light. This project will increase access to the Royal Observatory Greenwich: financially, culturally, physically and intellectually, and will enable us to share our passion for astronomy and wonderfully rich history with our visitors in a more united and impactful way.

The Astronomy department has temporarily relocated from the Royal Observatory Greenwich to the National Maritime Museum, where programming is already underway. We’re now preparing to launch an expanded and enhanced programme of activities soon. In 2028, the team will return to a restored and revitalised site at the Royal Observatory, ready to begin an exciting new chapter.

Our Astronomy Presenters help visitors engage with all that the Observatory has to offer, wherever we are.

As part of our astronomy offer for families, schools, and general visitors, we are launching our very first Science Theatre show. The Astronomy Presenter, Science Theatre role celebrates the fun, energy, and passion that define our approach to astronomy communication.

In this role, you’ll deliver high-energy, interactive performances that will inspire audiences to learn all about the weird, wonderful and surprising Universe. There will be plenty of variety in the programme, offering the chance to engage different audiences in creative and memorable ways.

If you love performing, thrive in front of a crowd, and want to blend theatre, science and pure cosmic excitement, this role is for you.
