Twycross Zoo – East
Midland Zoological Society (TZEMS), the World Primate Centre, holds a large variety of
primates – every type of great ape (gorilla, chimpanzee, bonobo, orang-utan)
plus a range of other primates including gibbons, lemurs, callitrichids, cebids
and guenons to name a few! We have
impressive breeding records for many of these species and recent changes to
husbandry practices has enabled more natural groupings and enclosure
modifications. We have more to do!
We
are going through an exciting period of change as this zoo develops and so are
looking for dynamic, knowledgeable individuals to help lead the teams forward.
We have a
vacancy for a keeper on the Great Apes section. The section manages all great
ape taxa including chimpanzees, bonobos, orang utans and gorillas. This is a key role which will involve working
on the section, covering all areas of animal husbandry including feeding,
cleaning, training and record keeping; as well as interacting with the zoo
visitors.
We are
seeking an enthusiastic, high performing individual with an interest in zoo
animal management. You must be a good team worker with a positive outlook and
have excellent communication skills. A
minimum of 2 years zoo keeping experience with great apes, and an
animal-related qualification, such as the BIAZA approved ANCMZA or DZMAA, would
be advantageous.
The role is full time,
including weekend duties on a rota system. Salary is paid monthly. We provide uniform and 31 days holiday per
annum.
Closing
date: Monday 4th November 2013
