We have a vacancy for a Senior Bird Keeper to join our team.
The role will involve deputising for our Head Keeper on days off, assisting the head keeper in the care and management of the bird collection ensuring high standards of animal welfare and public display.
We have over 160 species of bird within the park ranging from sunbirds to ratites and work together with other collections to ensure that threatened species as well as good avicultural exhibits can be maintained into the future.
We are seeking someone with a proven record working with birds, ideally in a public collection, and the ability to motivate colleagues to achieve their best results.
Our bird keepers work along side our education / presentations team and are expected to help with public presentations and events, so some experience in training of birds would be useful.
