Voluntary
opportunity to Join ABWAK Council
Closing
date: 17th May 2013
The
Association of British and Irish Wild Animal Keepers (ABWAK) is
looking for a dynamic, passionate and forward thinking animal keeper
to join our Council in a voluntary capacity. ABWAK is the
professional organisation for wild animal keepers in Britain and
Ireland, with a core focus of developing animal welfare through
communication, cooperation, training and development. The work of
ABWAK is lead by a team of professionals with experience in animal
husbandry, education, marketing, fundraising and more. We are
looking for an individual to join our team to help us reach our
strategic goals. This is an excellent opportunity for an animal
keeper to develop their experience outside of the work place, meet
other zoo professionals, help shape our organisation and support our
members through our regional training workshops, quarterly journal
and annual symposium.
The
ideal candidate will be in current employment as an animal keeper in
Britain or Ireland, and have a good understanding of the needs and
requirements of animal keepers. The candidate should be able to
volunteer at least six days per year (mostly weekends) to attend
ABWAK council meetings (at different zoos around the country), and
the annual symposium. Institutional support will be required. All
council members are assigned a specific role to support our
activities, and would be expected to communicate regularly with the
other council members via email. Council members are elected for
three years and are then eligible to run again.
Please
send a CV and a covering letter briefly outlining how you could help
ABWAK support animal keepers to:
