Displays Supervisor
We
are SEA
LIFE Weymouth and we are
part of the magical Merlin Entertainments!
Right
now we’re on the lookout for a Displays Supervisor in
the South coast’s premier attraction to ensure we deliver amazing, immersive,
safe experiences for our guests each and every day. At SEA LIFE Weymouth,
a positive team spirit, entrepreneurial flare and hard work go hand in
hand to make the Merlin magic happen!
About the role
In
this role you will take responsibility for ensuring the continual development
and innovation within the displays areas. Working with the Curator you will
lead and motivate the team of Aquarists to undertake the vital day to day tasks
involved in caring for over a thousand amazing creatures, as well as managing
and supporting the team to achieve their own potential.
You’ll
be responsible for the maintenance plans of the life support systems along with
the cleanliness and presentation of our displays, always striving for world
class! You will ensure suitable diets and feed plans are in place for our
creatures, as well as continuing to develop our excellent animal welfare across
the collection.
In
addition to this, you’ll be given the opportunity to support in new exciting
exhibit developments with a proactive focus on the correct care and attention
to the quarantine and transportation process and implementation of policies and
procedures that maximise the management of animal husbandry and innovation
throughout the attraction.
This
is a full time permanent role, working 5 days from 7 and as weekends and
holiday periods are our busiest time this will include doing your fair share of
weekends and bank holidays on a roster basis.
About you
You’ll
be a dynamic, confident and a self-motivated individual; who will be an
integral part of the team aiming for a centre of excellence in marine
management, conservation and education.
It
goes without saying that you will have a robust knowledge of aquatic animal
husbandry; and have the ability to communicate to all employees and customers,
as well as delivering a highly immersive experience to all our visitors.
Using
your experience gained through working in a similar environment, you will have
the ability to engage the team to make innovative operational changes which
evolve and continually improve our working practices. You’ll have a good
understanding of zoo licensing process and requirements having been through a
zoo licence in a previous role, some project management experience would be an
advantage and ideally you’ll be educated to degree level or equivalent in a
relevant discipline.
About the benefits
Alongside
a competitive annual salary circa £21,500, you can look forward to a great
benefits package which includes Group Personal Pension Plan, 28 days holiday
(including bank holidays), a Merlin Magic Pass which gives you free admission
to all of our attractions worldwide, Employee Assistance Programme, Life
Assurance, 25% discount in our retail shops and restaurants, 40% discount
online off of LEGO, and much more!
Perhaps
the biggest benefit of joining us however, are the amazing opportunities to
advance your career. Merlin is a large, global, expanding business, with no end
of curatorial roles, so for an ambitious and talented individual looking to go
much further with their career, we can provide the opportunities and the
support to help you realise your potential.
