Work for us
Our work brings together people who are curious, collaborative and committed to making a positive impact.
Established in 1830 to promote the advancement of geographical science, we are now a dynamic world centre for geography and geographical learning.
About the Royal Geographical Society
Supporting research, education, expeditions and fieldwork — alongside promoting and facilitating knowledge exchange, public engagement and informed enjoyment of our world — are at the core of our work.
We have charitable status and we work with international as well as UK-based audiences. We employ approximately 60 staff, and benefit from significant support from volunteers.
We are based in a listed building in our own grounds in Kensington, opposite Hyde Park. We also operate nine regional branches in the UK and two overseas.
