The Isle of Wight Zoo is the Island’s original and leading zoo. It is located on the popular east coast of the Isle of Wight overlooking a spectacular sandy beach just half an hour’s drive away from the capital town. The zoo is privately operated by a proactive and dedicated team.
A valuable and exciting opportunity has arisen for an Animal Department Supervisor to head a specialist collection comprising mainly of big cats and lemurs, alongside a small collection of other exotic species and farm and companion animals. This post will report to the Zoo Curator and, ultimately, share a Duty Manager role to oversee day-to-day operations of all departments.
The successful candidate will have a strong work ethic alongside superior animal and people management skills. The ability to organize and motivate a small team of animal care staff will be a vital aspect of this position. Working knowledge of species held in our collection is a requirement of the post and a minimum of 5 years experience in a zoo or associated organization is mandatory.
Applicants must hold a full drivers licence and be in a position to re-locate to the Isle of Wight.
