Working at the Zoo
With over 1,000 animals, 82 acres of parkland and over 600,000 visitors a year to look after, the task of running the Zoo can be complex and challenging.
The Zoo employs over 200 members of staff, plus approximately 100 additional seasonal staff every year, with skills ranging from animal welfare and management, to teaching, presenting, gardening, design, joinery, painting, finance, IT, HR, marketing, fundraising, catering, visitor services and retail.
Our staff are one of our most important assets and everyone plays a part in ensuring that animals and visitors are well looked after. We are committed to equal opportunities and employing a diverse workforce. Our Investors in People status shows our commitment to providing staff with a range of training and development opportunities and improving the way we work together.
