section.
About
the role

motivate & develop the Ungulates team of around 15 dedicated staff, to
ensure they maintain the highest possible standards. As the team and department
develop, you will constantly be seeking ways to maximise adventurer experience,
whilst creating the most stimulating environment possible for our animals.
Since we’re big on conservation, education and research, you’ll have a big part
to play in that too. Taking an active role in the wider elements of the Zoo,
you will support with the delivery of revenue-growing activities (e.g. Xtra
Adventures) and suggest methods to encourage guests’ footfall and dwell time
within Zoo areas of the Resort. A typical day will see you promoting a safe and
exciting environment for both your team and your animals. You will have a great
attention to detail, and be able to prioritise your resources to maximise
efficiency within the team. You will manage your time between hands on operational
needs whilst keeping a close eye on recruitment, training, and continued
development of your people.
About
you
Our
ideal candidate will have solid experience of working with Ungulates and will
ideally have a recognised qualification in captive animal management. You will
have passion and excitement for your chosen field, with a keen drive to utilize
advances in modern animal management. With previous experience of leading a
team, you will have confidence in making both team & operational decisions.
With an understanding of our family friendly resort brand, you will be an
excellent communicator to engage our adventurers in our exciting collection
across the park. You will have a good business acumen, with a desire to develop
the department operationally & provide extra revenue to the business. You
will be flexible, able to work full time 40 hours per week on a variable rota
basis which will include weekends and bank holidays.
