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

full time basis. For the right candidate, this post offers a fantastic
opportunity to work with a wide range of Hoofstock species from Dorcas Gazelle

routines, environmental enrichment and supporting veterinary intervention as

their initiative, display an interest in and commitment to animal welfare and
conservation, and must possess strong communication skills. Significant
previous experience in the keeping of a variety of Hoofstock species is
essential for this role.
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.
