Animal Keepers – 2 posts

If you have a commitment to a high standard of animal husbandry and an NVQ Level 2 or equivalent in Animal Care – we may have just the job for you as an Animal Keeper at our popular Lotherton Wildlife World attraction in Leeds, which houses a variety of mammals and exotic birds.  Work is currently ongoing to upgrade and expand the zoo environment.  The current animals and birds in the zoo now also include tapirs, warty pigs and penguins.

You will need to work as part of the team on a 7 day rota basis and should have specific knowledge related to the need of mammals, exotic birds and their specialised requirements.  Experience in working with large mammals is a desirable element.  You will assist with the feeding and movement of the the animals, cleaning, decorating and maintaining the enclosures and ponds, which will involve bending and lifting and keeping accurate records relating to animal welfare.

We promote diversity and want a workforce that reflects the population of Leeds. Leeds City Council is a Stonewall Top 100 employer, a Mindful Employer and a Disability Confident Employer.
