Animal Keeper – Primates and Small Mammals
Team
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 exciting opportunity has arisen for an Animal Keeper
to join our Primates & Small Mammals team on a full time basis. Marwell is looking to expand its already
varied Primate & Small Mammal collection due to new projects such as the
Tropical House and other exciting future plans. This is a great time to join a
forward thinking and progressive team.
Animal Keepers are
responsible for carrying out all aspects of animal care, including husbandry
routines, managerial operations and environmental enrichment, and supporting
veterinary intervention as required.
The successful candidate will have a background in the
keeping of Primates & Small Mammals. You will be able to work well as part of a team, have the ability to use
your initiative, display an interest in and commitment to animal welfare
and conservation, and must possess strong communication skills.
In return we will offer you support, training and continued professional
development, not to mention a fantastic working environment! You can also
expect free entry to the park and great event discounts.
If you would like
to join our unique and vibrant organisation and become part of our Marwell
Family, please visit our website, marwell.org.uk for a full candidate brief and
our application form. This application form must be completed for you to be
considered for this role.
