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 an Animal Team
Leader of our Birds section.
This role is
responsible for coordinating & supervising daily operations of the team,
under the direction of the Animal Collection Manager, therefore excellent communication,
organisational and people management skills are essential.

example, demonstrate positive behavior and conduct yourself in line with our
Values at all times as you will be in daily contact with your colleagues
throughout the wider organisation and our guests.
In return we
will offer you support, training and continued professional development, not to
mention a fantastic working environment!
