Care Manager
Wellington
Zoo
At
Wellington Zoo, we are the Zoo with the biggest heart: a creative, innovative
and progressive zoo. We are a team of powerfully passionate individuals who are
champions for the welfare of all animals - within and beyond the boundaries of
the Zoo. We are guided by our kaupapa, “Me Tiaki, Kia Ora!” - we must look
after our environment, so all things will flourish.
Wellington
Zoo is dedicated to giving our animals a really good life. Animals at
Wellington Zoo are treated with dignity and respect, their quality of life
needs are met, and Wellington Zoo is positioned as a leader in the zoo profession:
an advocate and an authority on animal welfare best practice.
We have a
rare vacancy for our Animal Care Manager role on a permanent, full-time basis.
This pivotal role reports to the Chief Operating Officer and the successful
candidate will be responsible for the overall leadership and effective
management of the four husbandry sections in our Animal Care Team. The role is
crucial to ensuring that we lead the way with the highest standards of
husbandry skills, animal welfare outcomes, species management planning and
innovative habitat design for the animals in our care. This is also the biggest
team in the Zoo, and the Animal Care Manager needs to be an incredible people
leader, with four Animal Care Team Leaders as direct reports and a wider team of
25.4 FTE Keepers. The role plays a critical role in managing the training and
ongoing professional development of Animal Care staff, in leading initiatives
and experiences that inspire our visitors, and supporting the Zoo’s strategic
priorities.
