Voluntary Internships

Voluntary Internships

Paignton Zoo is looking for interns to support our informal education program on sustainable behaviour and summer events.

This is a voluntary position providing an excellent opportunity to develop your interpersonal skills. You will gain experience of how an education department runs within a zoo. Through the development and delivery of resources and workshops you will build an understanding of the growing sustainability industry and develop the skills required to measure the success in this field.

We are looking for motivated and reliable individuals and successful interns will ideally be confident, organised self-starters. It would also be an advantage to have knowledge of sustainability and environmental education; however support and relevant training will be provided. Most importantly, applicants must have a passion for this subject area.

The post involves a regular commitment of time which will be discussed at your informal discussion thus, enabling interns to volunteer around personal commitments.

Register Your Interest

To register your interest, please send a cover letter, explaining what you can bring to this role, along with a CV to michelle.youd@paigntonzoo.org.uk 

The internship is intended to commence in March (there can be flexibility) and will finish on September 1st.

CVs will be reviewed on a rolling basis and will not be reviewed after 12:00pm Friday 13th February 2015. Informal discussions will be held at Paignton Zoo Environmental Park on the 2nd and 3rd of March 2015.
