Purpose of the role

ZSL is looking for a dedicated Zookeeper to join the Small Mammals section of our Animal Department at the iconic London Zoo, Regents Park. This exciting opportunity involves caring for an incredible range of Small Mammals including Meerkats, Sloths, Lemurs and Mongoose.

As a vital team member, you will ensure the highest standards of animal welfare and husbandry, play an active role in enrichment and training programmes, and help create engaging experiences for visitors. You will work closely with the section manager, team leader, and colleagues, supporting all aspects of daily care and conservation efforts for these amazing species.

Demonstrates initiative and a proactive, sustainable approach to completing tasks that benefit the department, maximising productivity and efficiency.
Can work effectively both as part of a team and independently to carry out section tasks.
Demonstrates professionalism through punctuality, reliability, integrity, and a diligent work ethic.

This role is subject to standard pre-employment checks, including confirmation of your right to work in the UK. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

We are committed to building a supportive and inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive and celebrate the value of having a team of employees with diverse skills, experiences, and heritage.

We’re ZSL, an international conservation charity. Through our unrivalled animal experts in our two zoos (London Zoo and Whipsnade Zoo), the work of our pioneering scientists, our dedicated conservationists, our purpose is to inspire, inform and empower people to stop wild animals going extinct. Our vision is a world where wildlife thrives and we’re working every day to achieve this. From investigating the health threats facing animals, to helping people and wildlife live alongside each other, we are committed to bringing wildlife back from the brink of extinction.

What We Offer?

Alongside the opportunity to do purpose-driven work that helps create a world where wildlife thrives, you'll enjoy a range of benefits, including:

Up to 12% contributory pension
Flexible working options
25 days' annual leave plus UK bank holidays, increasing with service
Enhanced family-friendly policies
Life assurance from day one (for eligible employees)
24/7 Employee Assistance Programme and wellbeing support
Access to our staff Equality Networks
Complimentary London Zoo and Whipsnade Zoo tickets, plus retail discounts
