The Seahorse Trust. Seahorse Tagging Officer.

The Seahorse Trust. Seahorse Tagging Officer.


Since 1994 we have been running the British Seahorse Survey and this has given us great insights into Seahorses around the British Isles, which led in 2008 to us getting them fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act

Seahorses are unique creatures with an enigmatic almost secretive lifestyle which gives problems in trying to understand about their ecology in the field and it is unusual to find a site with large numbers of Seahorse resident in it.

We have been working on such a unique site in Dorset, England for a couple of years now which has given us a background to the site and we are just about to start a tagging project to allow us to understand more about the site and the individual Seahorses and others species on and around it.

We are just about to be granted some funds to support our Seahorse Tagging project at Studland in Dorset. The project is innovative and being done under Natural England License and we require a Tagging Officer for a years contract [this may be extended subject to the officer fund raising for the position]

The Seahorse Tagging Project Officer will be self motivated and unsupervised and will individually tag. GPS mark, photograph and do the morphometric measurements for the Seahorses on the site. This data will be collated by the officer to give a greater understanding of this site and will be fed into the British Seahorse Survey and periodic reports on the Seahorses and the site.

The Officer will also be expected to train and work with dive volunteers that will assist in the tagging project.

A major part of the work of the Officer is in working with the local community and visitors to the area and so will be expected to take part in public talks and community days. They will also be expected to work directly with other organisations to push the project forward and attend and do a presentation to the trustees of the trust periodically.

Skills needed.

Essential:

Seahorse experience of behaviour and ecology in captivity and in the field

Fund raising experience

Working with volunteers and knowledge of the volunteer sector

Be able to do public speaking to small and large groups.

Car license, own vehicle.

Minimum Dive Master or equivalent.

Experienced in underwater surveying.

Must be able to write in depth reports and media articles

Computer literate.

Must be self motivated.

Desirable requirements
Knowledge of national standards for the voluntary sector

Knowledge of committee structures /systems

Knowledge of local voluntary networks.

Ability to build strong links with voluntary organisations.

Please note this position is also being advertised internally.

New World Primate Caregiver/Office Assistant - Pacific Primate Sanctuary, Maui, Hawaii

New World Primate Caregiver/Office Assistant - Pacific Primate Sanctuary, Maui, Hawaii

Position Available (on-going) for New World Primate Caregiver/Office Assistant at Pacific Primate Sanctuary, Maui, Hawaii


This is truly a Sanctuary, a beautiful place for the right person. We would welcome someone with a background and interest in animal husbandry, welfare and conservation, exotic veterinary medicine, biology, and related fields, who is a mature team player with respect for others. We need a good, clear communicator (written and spoken English), and coordinator with a minimal personal agenda, who seeks mutual growth for all and is able to make a long term commitment to the primates and the staff.

The position requires a self-starter and hard worker, someone who is humble, compassionate, self-reliant, organized, professional, computer literate, open to learning, capable of problem solving and completing a task. Our Resident Intern would need to be physically fit, with no communicable diseases or criminal record, who has a driver's license and would enjoy a rural lifestyle with simple amenities. A one year commitment is requested. Citizens of foreign countries would need to secure their own visas and permits independently.

Responsibilities of an animal caregiver involve: providing daily care, enrichment, and nurturing to 70+/- monkeys, administering medications, preparing food, cleaning enclosures, and maintaining the Sanctuary facility. Office assistance would include: administering the volunteer program (scheduling, processing of applications, advertising), data entry (Mac- Filemaker Pro, Excel, Word), correspondence, record-keeping, fund-raising-grant writing and public relations. After the training period, managerial duties would be added and more technical training may be available. The position requires an average of 40 hours per week, including on-call duties.

Pacific Primate Sanctuary is a nonprofit organization (501(C)(3). Our staff is made up of 15 volunteer caregivers and a support system of veterinary and other professionals. Since the well-being of the monkeys is our primary focus, they are not on exhibit, the facility is not open to the public and they are not subjected to any medical research.

As a result, our organization is not eligible for funding from any governmental agencies nor do we receive funds from admission, as would a public zoo. Therefore, we must rely solely upon donations from compassionate individuals and organizations. Our operating budget is extremely small. Financial independence for living expenses would be required. If you are considering the possibility of seeking grant support on your own, supplementary funds for needs other than housing could be built into your budget.

We provide a fully furnished and equipped 24-foot Yurt or a 16-foot Yurt ( traditional round structures designed specifically for tropical living) and utilities. An organic garden and fruit orchard exist on-site. The Yurt is adjacent to the Sanctuary on a large piece of rainforest property with its own bathroom facilities. You would be trained by experienced members of our staff in all aspects of New World primate care (Callithrix and Cebus). Observational research could be conducted on this colony of marmosets, tamarins and capuchin monkeys in a naturalistic environment.

You may apply for the position by submitting the following: your Letter of Intent in making application, your Resume/CV, three Letters of Reference (from instructors, employers etc.), a copy of your TB clearance and general physical. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

The opportunity:


At Chessington World of Adventures & Zoo, we really do have it all. Our zoo itself houses everything from Gorillas, Tigers and Leopards, right through to Monkeys, Meerkats and Skunks. For you though, the really interesting areas will be our Creepy Caves, home to some amazing reptiles, and our Monkey and Bird Garden, which is where we keep our feathered friends. This role is just as varied as the creatures themselves. As you’d expect, a big part of it will be about the animals’ welfare – you’ll need to make sure they have the right food at the right times, and that their areas are clean and well maintained. You’ll need to look after our guests too, helping them to discover more about the different species through both interaction and educational talks.


Our requirements:


It goes without saying that you’ll need a demonstrable interest in animals. You’re likely to have undertaken some sort of Animal Management course, or you might have a good understanding of natural sciences. However, what’s really important here is that you’re full of enthusiasm and genuinely passionate about bringing the world of reptiles and birds to life. In particular, you should be confident when it comes to interacting with and inspiring guests of all ages and backgrounds. You’ll be working five days out of seven, including many weekends and bank holidays, so flexibility is important, and because this is a trainee position, we’re looking for someone who’s keen to learn and hungry to build a strong knowledge of the birds and reptiles we keep.


The organisation:


Chessington World of Adventures & Zoo is part of the Merlin Entertainments Group, the world’s second largest operator of visitor attractions with a portfolio that includes THORPE PARK, Alton Towers Resort, The London Eye and Madame Tussauds. When it comes to all-round family entertainment, Chessington World of Adventures & Zoo is the full package. Not only do we have a theme park complete with thrilling, action-packed rides, we’re also home to a SEA LIFE centre and of course, our fantastic Zoo.

What’s in it for you?
We offer a competitive salary along with a great benefits package, including a pension and a Merlin Magic pass which will give you free admission to all of our attractions. What’s more, by joining an ever-expanding global business, you’ll be sure to receive exceptional development opportunities.
