Chief Executive
Bristol Zoological
Society
Our mission is to
save wildlife through conservation action and engaging people with the natural
world. We achieve this mission through operating two zoos; Bristol Zoo Gardens
and the Wild Place Project, and through our formal and informal education, conservation
and science programmes.
Established in 1836,
Bristol Zoo Gardens is the fifth oldest zoo in the world. The Wild Place
Project was launched in 2013 on a large, rural site in South Gloucestershire
and has enjoyed rapid expansion since its inception.
As the largest
visitor attraction in the South West, our zoos have welcomed over 90 million
guests and through our national and international field conservation
programmes, we have helped save a significant number of species from
extinction. We offer popular undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes
in collaboration with local universities and our award-winning education team
has taught generations of school children the value of nature, wildlife and the
impact our society has on the world.
We are now seeking a
new Chief Executive to lead the Society through its next phase of development.
In partnership with the newly appointed Chief Zoological Officer, you will
ensure that our mission is delivered via an amazing visitor experience and through
high quality conservation, research and education.
Our new Chief
Executive will have senior leadership experience gained in the leisure or
visitor attraction sectors, ideally in organisations with multiple service
lines. With strong commercial acumen, you will be able to articulate a clear
vision and strategy to ensure increasing visitor numbers and financial
sustainability for the Society. If you have the vision and passion to lead a
values-based and committed team at this exciting point in our history, we very
much look forward to hearing from you.
