EXPERIENCED ANIMAL
KEEPER
Manor Wildlife Park
has a vacancy for an experienced keeper to join their dedicated and ambitious
team in an exciting and rapidly developing collection, working on all sections
of the zoo. This is a full time position working 5 days out of 7 on a rotational
basis.
The ideal applicant
will have worked for at least 2 years in a recognised zoological collection;
experience of working with large ungulates, Sumatran Tigers and African Lions
would be beneficial, however this is not essential to the role. Applicants would
have ideally been awarded the DMZAA or equivalent but relevant experience will
be taken in to consideration. Good communication skills are essential as you
will be expected to deliver a variety of talks and engage with visitors. A
firearms licence is desirable but again not essential and you will require a
clean UK driver’s license.
The responsibilities
of this role will include cleaning, feeding and the provision of general care
for the animals and their exhibits, as well as ‘natural’ enrichment items and
enclosure furnishings. You will be working
as part of a team and on your own as required.
Please send your CV
and covering letter to Gemma Thomas, Manor Wildlife Park, Manor House, St.
Florence, Tenby, Pembrokeshire. SA70 8RJ. Or alternatively apply via email to
gemma@manorwildlifepark.co.uk
The closing date for
applications will be 14th October 2016.
