Animal
Keeper – Primates and Small Mammals Team
Join our
vibrant organisation!
As an
action oriented conservation charity, Marwell Wildlife’s desire is to connect people
with nature. Through enthusing people about the wonders of the natural world
we’re certain they’ll share our passion to conserve it. Our success relies on two key
things. The impression we create through our 140 acre zoological park, Marwell
Zoo, with its wide array of exotic and endangered species and the family of talented
people we employ who share our passion and bring our vision to life.
An
exciting opportunity has arisen for an Animal Keeper to join our Primates and Small Mammals
team on a full time basis. Marwell is looking to expand its already varied
Primate and Small Mammal collection due to new projects such as the Tropical House and
other exciting
future plans. This is a great time to join a forward thinking and progressive
team.
Animal
Keepers are responsible for carrying out all aspects of animal care, including husbandry
routines, managerial operations and environmental enrichment, and supporting veterinary
intervention as required.
The
successful candidate will have a background in the keeping of Primates and Small Mammals.
You will be able to work well as part of a team, have the ability to use your initiative, display an interest in and commitment to animal welfare and conservation, and must
possess strong communication skills.
In
return we will offer you support, training and continued professional
development, not to mention
a fantastic working environment! You can also expect free entry to the park and great
event discounts.
If you
would like to join our unique and vibrant organisation and become part of our Marwell
Family, please visit our website, marwell.org.uk for a full candidate brief and
