angitūtanga: The opportunity
Auckland is
a global city with stunning scenery, wonderful beaches and sub-tropical
islands. It is also a city with one of the most progressive zoos in the world.
At Auckland Zoo, wildlife conservation and environmental sustainability is at
the very heart of what we do. Our mission is “to bring people together to
build a future for wildlife” and we do this by demonstrating exceptional care
for wildlife, inspiring our visitors to value wildlife, conserving wildlife in
the wild and building a high-performance organisation.
We are
currently seeking a Team Leader Ectotherms As a key member of the Zoo's
Animal Care & Conservation team, the Team Leader's role is to ensure that
the staff, facilities and animals associated with the section are managed to
achieve excellence. Working under the Curator of Ectotherms, the primary focus
of the advertised role is to oversee the care of the Zoo's reptiles,
amphibians, fish and invertebrates, providing best practice husbandry,
contributing to our knowledge of these species through research and
publication, and delivering world-class animal habitats and meaningful
encounters to our 700,000 annual visitors. You will also help to identify,
develop and deliver a portfolio of related conservation programs in the field.
This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in the development of the Zoo's
ectotherm section, to actively contribute to conservation both in the zoo and
in the field, and to work with some of the world's most extraordinary
ectotherms including tuatara, wetapunga and Archey's frog. The section
maintains a growing number of ‘exotic’ species, soon to be complimented by an
authentically-themed South East Asian ‘Swamp Forest’ dome, which will be home
to Sunda gharial, freshwater turtles, tortoises and thousands of fish. The exciting
challenges of bringing this complex project to life is just ahead.
