Flamingo Land Zoo
Closing date: Monday
30th June 2014
Flamingo Land zoological department is looking for a 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.
Zookeeper
The successful candidate will initially be focused on our
Children’s Planet exhibit, which includes 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 zoo
keepers are encouraged to participate in a range of activities which include
research, environmental enrichment and education. The successful candidate will have experience
working in a zoological collection and have passed the Advanced National
Certificate in the Management of Zoo 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 the visitors, including
delivering public talks. The successful candidate will also be enthusiastic and
a good team player.
Interviews will take place on the 01st and 02nd
of July and may include a practical assessment.
