Purpose of the role

ZSL is looking for a dedicated Zookeeper to join the Hoofstock section of our Animal Department at the iconic London Zoo, Regents Park.

This exciting opportunity involves caring for an incredible range of Hoofstock, including giraffes, okapi, red river hogs, camels and babirusa.

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.

This role is offered on a full-time basis, working 37.5 hours per week. As our zoos are open seven days a week, your schedule will follow a rota, which includes weekends and bank holidays. We aim to balance business needs with personal flexibility, so you’ll have advance notice of your shifts to help plan your time.
