Aquarium Displays Supervisor/Assistant Curator (Mobile Role)
UK wide
About the
role
This is a
mobile role, where you’ll be out on assignment at any of our 10+ SEA LIFE
attractions in the UK and Ireland as and when needed.
You will
have a ‘home base’ at one of our SEA LIFE attractions in the UK (we can be
fairly flexible which one that is based on your current location and
circumstances), but you could find yourself out on assignment (sometimes at
short notice) to any of our UK and Irish attractions, for anything from a
couple of days, a couple of weeks, or even for several months. This will
require travel and prolonged stays away from your home base as needed
(accommodation is provided when on assignment).
An
incredibly broad role, this position exists to provide support when and
wherever required, whether that’s a practical pair of hands with daily animal
care, or providing leadership and supervisory support at a site, to help when
there are vacancies within teams, new exhibits and displays are being
installed, major animal transportation, quarantine or relocation activity is
taking place, a training need is identified at a particular site, or a specific
project or initiative that needs extra help.
When you’re
out on assignment, or at your home-base, the role will involve lots of hands-on
animal husbandry and everything that goes with that from ensuring our vital
life support systems are always operating correctly, driving standards of
cleanliness and presentation of our displays, managing suitable diets and feed
plans, as well as robust health, medication, and treatment regimens.
But you’ll
also support with project work as needed, working closely with the UK Head of
Conservation, Welfare and Engagement you’ll help drive the continual
development and innovation within the animal display areas nationally. That
could be coordinating tasks and projects which develop and improve standards,
records, animal sourcing and specialised training across the UK sites, all to
ensure best in class animal husbandry and welfare.
This is a
permanent full-time role that requires travel to sites within the UK and
Ireland. It also includes working a fair share of weekends and bank holidays as
required to support aquarium operations as well as providing emergency call out
cover.
