Situated near
Canterbury in Kent, Howletts works in conjunction with The Aspinall Foundation;
a charity committed to conservation and the reintroduction of captive bred
species back into their native habitats.
Howletts Wild Animal
Park has an exciting placement for an enthusiastic individual wanting to gain
valuable zoo animal keeping experience working alongside keepers on the
Gorilla section.

candidates who are willing to commit to a minimum of 6 months up to a maximum
of 12 months, volunteering 5 days per week including weekends. Normal

established in conservation or animal care and looking for further specialist
zoo experience.
