You will be working amongst a supportive and experienced team, who will allow you to gain practical experience in animal care and conservation.
Someone with a background in animal care will find this a varied and interesting role within a supportive and experienced team. The role is also an ideal placement for someone looking to gain practical experience in animal care / biology / ecology or conservation science.
