Job Summary

We are seeking a passionate, dedicated, and reliable Penguin Keeper to join our Small Animal & Exotics team caring for a colony of Humboldt Penguins. This full-time role offers the opportunity to work with one of the world's most engaging bird species, delivering the highest standards of husbandry, welfare, and daily care within a purpose-built penguin habitat.

Working as part of a small, dedicated team, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the penguin colony, ensuring exceptional standards of animal care through meticulous husbandry, behavioural observation, habitat maintenance, and accurate record keeping. This is a hands-on role suited to an experienced and motivated individual with a genuine passion for avian husbandry, excellent attention to detail, and a proactive approach to animal welfare.

Key Responsibilities

Animal Husbandry & Health

Prepare and provide daily fish diets in accordance with established feeding plans.
Prepare and administer daily vitamins, nutritional supplements, and prescribed medications, maintaining accurate treatment records.
Monitor individual food intake, body condition, weights, breeding activity, and behaviour, maintaining detailed daily records.
Carry out daily visual health checks and promptly report any concerns to the Head Keeper or veterinary team.
Liaise with veterinary professionals and assist with routine health care, including weighing, health examinations, and administering veterinary treatments in line with veterinary advice and established protocols.
Support breeding and chick-rearing activities in accordance with established husbandry protocols.

Habitat Maintenance

Clean, disinfect, and maintain the penguin habitat, nesting areas, pools, holding pens, and back-of-house facilities to an exceptional standard.
Assist with the operation and routine maintenance of filtration and life support systems where required.
Ensure habitats remain clean, safe, secure, and well-presented at all times.
Identify and report any maintenance requirements or equipment issues promptly.

Enrichment & Behaviour

Plan and deliver a varied programme of environmental enrichment to encourage natural behaviours and promote positive welfare.
Participate in behavioural observations and positive reinforcement training where appropriate.
Monitor breeding pairs, nesting behaviour, and social dynamics within the colony.

Safety & Standards

Ensure the security and integrity of all penguin habitats and holding areas.
Adhere to all biosecurity, hygiene, and Health & Safety procedures.
Maintain a clean, organised, and professional working environment.
Report any hazards, maintenance issues, or animal welfare concerns immediately.

About You

A genuine passion for delivering the highest standards of animal welfare and husbandry.
Previous experience working with penguins is desirable; applicants with experience caring for other aquatic birds or avian species within a zoological, wildlife, or specialist animal collection will also be considered.

Strong organisational skills with meticulous attention to detail and record keeping.
The ability to work independently while contributing positively within a small, dedicated team.

A flexible, reliable, and professional approach to work.

Desirable

A qualification in Animal Management, Zoology, or a related discipline.
Knowledge of avian health, enrichment, breeding, and behavioural management.

Weekend working is required on a rotational basis, working 3 out of every 4 weekends.

Flexibility is essential, as working hours may vary to meet seasonal, operational, and animal care requirements.
