Experienced Zookeeper
Flamingo Land Zoo
Closing date: 02nd
March 2014
Flamingo Land Zoo is looking for an experienced zookeeper to
join our team. Flamingo Land is one of
the leading tourist attractions in the UK, attracting more than 1.4 million
visitors each year. The zoo currently
has over 130 species across a range of different taxa. We have an active education department, our
own research institute (in collaboration with the University of York) and an
award winning conservation project in Tanzania.
The zoo is also a member of BIAZA, EAZA and WAZA. Zoo staff are actively encouraged to become
involved in our education programme, research projects, visiting our
conservation project and several staff including our zookeepers manage
studbooks.
The successful candidate will be focused on working with a
range of small mammals and reptiles, including meerkats, porcupines, coatis,
Asian short-clawed otters, banded mongoose, warthog, Visayan warty pigs, red
river hogs and more. There will also be an opportunity to be trained on other
animal sections within the zoo. All of
our zookeepers are encouraged to participate in a range of activities which
include research, environmental enrichment and education. The successful candidate must have at
least two years experience working in a zoological collection and have passed
the Diploma in the Management of Zoo and Aquarium Animals (or equivalent). Experience with any of the above mentioned
species would be an advantage, but you will receive direct training in the
husbandry of these species. The successful candidate will be expected to be very
personable and able to communicate well with visitors, including delivering
public talks. The successful candidate will also be enthusiastic and a good
team player.
Interviews will take place on the 06th and 07th
of March 2014.
Please email a CV and covering letter before 02nd
