Trainee Animal
Keeper – Elephants
Woburn Safari
Park is a drive-through wild animal park, set in over 300 acres of beautiful
Bedfordshire parkland. It forms part of the Bedford Estates, which is home to
Woburn Abbey, The Woburn Hotel, Woburn Golf Club and The Sculpture Gallery.
We currently have
an exciting opportunity for an individual to join our team and work with our
Asian elephant herd, consisting of four adults and our newest arrival, Tarli
our nine month old elephant calf, which are managed primarily in free contact.
This
role will require you to have a passion for working with elephants and a strong
commitment to working in the elephant section.
Working within a small team, you will have the opportunity to work with
our experienced staff and learn about these amazing animals.
The
role will be physically demanding as you will assist with all elements of
animal husbandry, including cleaning enclosures, feeding and learning about how
the animals are trained. There will also be the opportunity to assist with our
public demonstrations.
You
will be able to demonstrate good communication skills and have a proven
interest in working with animals. Experience of working with elephants within a
free contact environment would be an advantage; however you may have some previous
experience of working within an animal environment.
This position is full time working 5
days out of 7. As this will include regular weekend working, a flexible
approach to days / hours will be required.
Due to location, you will require
your own transport.
