Join our vibrant
organisation!
As an action
oriented conservation charity, Marwell Wildlife’s desire is to connect people
with nature. Through enthusing people about the wonders of the natural world
we’re certain they’ll share our passion to conserve it. Our success relies on
two key things. The impression we create through our 140 acre zoological park,
Marwell Zoo, with its wide array of exotic and endangered species and the
family of talented people we employ who share our passion and bring our vision
to life.
An excellent
opportunity has arisen for an Interpreter to join our team on a fixed term
contract until the 28th February 2017. You will be working 35 hours per week on
a rota basis (including weekends). You will be responsible for delivering a
wide range of talks to both guests and staff. You will also be required to
deliver our animal encounter experiences, whilst researching and sourcing the

such a way as to spark interest and inspire action. Previous experience of
working with and presenting to a variety of audiences (children and adults) in
small groups would be advantageous.
Excellent verbal and
written communication, customer service and presentation skills are essential,
as well as a commitment to education, biodiversity, conservation and
environmental protection.
