Safari and Adventure Park was opened to the public in 1970 and was, at the
time, one of Britain’s first safari parks. With over 400,000 visitors a year,
we are now one of the most popular visitor attractions in Scotland and offer a
world-class visitor experience that is exciting, educational and fun.
We are currently
recruiting for a dedicated, reliable and confident team member to join our new
Presentation Team working predominately with our sea lions but also our birds
of prey. This position is offered on a
full time, permanent basis.
You will be
responsible for maintaining a safe environment for both yourself and the
visitors by adhering to associated risk assessments and protocols without
exception.
Working as part of
the Presentation Team, you will deliver high quality educational and
entertaining displays of natural behaviours to large groups of the public in
our daily presentations. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to
work with, train and display our Californian sea lions and our collection of
birds of prey.
The successful

behaviour and previous experience training and working with a variety of
species. The ability to take part in public presentations is essential as well
as exceptional animal husbandry skills, high standards of animal care and
excellent communication skills.
A full, clean UK
driving licence is essential. The zoo animal management qualification (DMZAA)
is desirable but not essential for this position.
