Gorilla Keeper
Salary: From NMW to £21,100 per annum (£10.14ph) DOE
Plus a living out allowance or £2,600 per annum pro rata, if
onsite accommodation is not required or available.
Howletts Wild Animal Park, situated near Canterbury in Kent, is
home to the largest captive breeding group
of Western Lowland Gorillas in the world with over 140 births to date.
Through our charity, The Aspinall Foundation,
we manage and protect over a million acres of Congo and Gabon into which we are reintroducing gorillas. Gorillas from our
collection in the UK have joined orphans from the bushmeat trade to create this population. This is a rare
opportunity to become part of this cutting edge conservation initiative.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to
join our team of gorilla keepers. The ideal
candidate will have experience gained in a mainstream zoological
collection with great apes – preferably gorillas. An awareness of current
conservation issues and a passion
for animal welfare is also needed.
Candidates must have a good level of physical fitness as this is a
physically demanding role. A full valid driving licence
is essential.
It would also be advantageous to have some experience of driving
tractor/trailers and possess a varied skillset including general maintenance and a recognised Zoo Animal Management qualification.
Working 40 hours over a 5-day week, the
successful candidate will have a genuinely flexible approach to working hours which will include weekends
and bank holidays. All applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
Closing date: Friday
18 June 2021.
