Flamingo Land Zoo is
looking for an experienced zookeeper to join our team for the ungulate
department. Flamingo Land is one of the
leading tourist attractions in the UK, attracting more than 1.4 million
visitors each year. The zoo currently
has over 130 species across a range of different taxa. We have an education department, our own
research institute (in collaboration with the University of York) and an award
winning conservation project in Tanzania.
The zoo is also a member of BIAZA, EAZA and WAZA.
The successful
candidate will be focused on working with a range of animals on the ungulate
department including Black and White rhino, Rothschild giraffe, Common hippo,
Bactrian camel, also including, Macropods and South American species. Keepers
rotate around the department to work on all areas. All of our zookeepers are encouraged to
participate in a range of activities which include research, environmental
enrichment and education. The successful
candidate must have at least three years experience working in a zoological
collection and have passed the Diploma in the Management of Zoo and Aquarium
Animals (or equivalent). Drivers licence is preferred. Experience with any of
the above mentioned species would be an advantage, but you will receive direct
training in the husbandry of these species. The successful candidate will be
expected to be very personable and able to communicate well with visitors,
including delivering public talks. The successful candidate will also be
enthusiastic and a good team player.
Interviews will take
place the week after the closing date above.
