Senior Animal Keeper – Hoofstock
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.
A full time opportunity has arisen to join
our Animal Management Team as a Senior Animal Keeper on our Hoofstock section.
We’re looking for candidates with a good understanding
of Hoofstock species’ biology, natural history, husbandry & welfare. We
have exciting plans for our collection and exhibits, offering great
opportunities for creative project and team work with a focus on animal behavior,
nutrition and enrichment. This post offers a fantastic opportunity to work with
our world leading Hoofstock collection including species such as Dorcas
Gazelle, White Rhino, Okapi, Grevys Zebra, Somali wild ass and Rothschild
Giraffe.
The successful candidate will have specialist
taxonomic knowledge and experience in Hoofstock with a minimum Level 3 (ANC /
DMZAA) or equivalent qualification in animal management or biological sciences.
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.
Accommodation may be available on a short term basis
to the successful candidate. Please note this would incur a rental cost. Due to
the need to drive park vehicles, candidates must also hold a full driving
license valid for the UK.
