Gorilla Keeper
The Aspinall
Foundation is a registered charity that is actively involved with several
projects incorporating a diverse range of conservation activities both at their
Kent based Howletts and Port Lympne Wild Animal Parks and overseas projects in
the Congo, Gabon, Indonesia and Madagascar. Our main spheres of
conservation-based activity include captive breeding, education, ecosystem
management, local community education projects, capacity building, habitat
surveys and the rehabilitation of confiscated wild animals.
Howletts Wild Animal
Park, situated near Canterbury in Kent, is a charity committed to protecting
rare and endangered animals from extinction through captive breeding and
reintroduction programmes. Part of The Aspinall Foundation, Howletts is home to
the largest captive breeding group of Western Lowland Gorillas in the world
with over 130 births to date.
We are looking for
an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our team of dedicated gorilla
keepers. The ideal candidate will have experience gained in a mainstream
zoological collection - preferably with great apes - an awareness of current
conservation issues and a passion for animal welfare.
This is a physically
demanding position so candidates must be physically fit. A full valid driving
licence is essential to the role. Ideally you will possess experience of
driving farm machinery and basic maintenance skills. Holding a recognised Zoo
Animal Management qualification and being comfortable giving talks to the
public would be an advantage.
Working 5 days a
week, including weekends and bank holidays, the successful candidate will have
a genuinely flexible approach to working hours. Single person accommodation may
be available.
Closing date: Friday
24th January 2014, 12noon.
