Interpreter
Interpreter (Fixed
Term Contract until 30.11.2017)
Join our vibrant
organisation!
As an action
oriented conservation charity, Marwell Wildlife’s desire is to connect people
with nature. By enthusing people about the wonders of the natural world we hope
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 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. You will be working 35 hours per week on a rota basis (including
weekends). You will be responsible for delivering a wide range of animal talks
to zoo guests. You will also be required to deliver our animal encounter
experiences, whilst researching and sourcing the information needed to
contribute to other public engagement activities.
Applicants must be
confident, enthusiastic and engaging with the skill to present information in
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.
If you would like to
join our unique and vibrant organisation and become part of our Marwell family,
