Experienced Primate
Keeper
The Aspinall
Foundation is a registered charity that is actively involved with several
projects incorporating a diverse range of conservation activities both at their
Kent based Howletts Wild Animal Park and Port Lympne Reserve and overseas
projects in the Congo, Gabon, Indonesia and Madagascar.
We are looking for
an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our team of dedicated primate
keepers at Port Lympne Reserve. The ideal candidate will have experience in a
mainstream zoological collection (preferably in a similar position) and an awareness
of current conservation issues and a passion for animal welfare.
This is a very
physical role and the successful applicant will be expected to undertake all
duties on the section from food preparation and cleaning, to enclosure building
and maintenance. A full valid driving
licence is essential to the role.
Ideally you will
possess experience of good all round animal husbandry skills and be enthusiastic
in contributing to the enrichment of the primate species around the park. You
will have obtained an animal management qualification or equivalent experience but
if not you must be willing to work towards obtaining a relevant qualification
and being comfortable interacting with the public.
Working 5 days a
week, including weekends and bank holidays, the successful candidate will have
a genuinely flexible approach to working hours. Single person accommodation may
be available.
All applicants must
have right to work in the UK.
Closing date: 31st
January 2016.
