will take responsibility for ensuring the continual development and innovation
within the displays areas, leading the delivery of consistently high standards
of animal husbandry and displays through the management, organisation and continued
development of the team. Being an expert in your field, you’ll be able to
deliver innovation creatures, concepts and systems through trials, research and
working with the displays team to generate ideas as well as managing the
creation/installation of new features that are key to creating compelling
reasons to visit.

opportunities for career development.
