Trainee Animal Trainer and Presenter
BANHAM ZOO
We have an exciting opportunity
for a Trainee Animal Trainer and
Presenter to join our team.
The
successful candidate should possess and be able to demonstrate animal training
experience relevant to the zoo’s Bird of Prey and Amazing Animal displays and
be familiar with positive operant conditioning. In addition to this, and a key
requirement for the role, are excellent communication and public presentation
skills.
Working
under the direction of the Head of Animal Training and Presentations, you will
already have at least 1 years’ experience working with and training exotic
animals and your previous experience will complement the already high standard of
training and presentation achieved by the department. An animal care related
qualification/s would be an advantage but more important is the desire to
interact both formally and informally with our guests at every opportunity,
providing an additional educational experience that enhances their visit.
Salary
is dependent on experience. This is a full time position (based on an average
40 hr week), some weekend working is required and there is no accommodation
available with this position.

position to Andy Hallsworth, Head of
