Our mission: To
connect communities with the natural world for the benefit of future
generations
If you are working
towards an animal based degree, a 44 week Student Placement at Knowsley Safari
is designed to offer you an education in the practical aspects of an Animal
Keeper role within an outstanding Safari Park surrounded by experienced keepers
who are more than happy to pass on their skills and knowledge. We offer you
first-hand experience within the Park/Zoo community with plenty of support,
training and development of you as an individual. Following our placement you
will develop skills in animal management & husbandry, organisation &
planning, and teamwork & communication, and gain a realistic idea of the
intense physical demands of the role.
This placement is
aimed at undergraduate students who:
a. Must
undertake a placement to accompany their studies as a required aspect of their
university programme.
b. Wish
to take a ‘sandwich year’ in university in order to gain experience in the
Park/Zoo world.
Please note that
undergraduates must be enrolled on a course which is relevant to the role and
priority will be given to those students who must undertake a placement as part
of their course.
The placement will
start on 31st October 2016 and finish on 3rd September 2017.
(Please note that if
your University requires your ‘year in industry’ or ‘sandwich year’ to be
longer than 44 weeks, we are happy to consider an extension to the placement.)
