Gaining industry experience is vital to progress with personal development and career opportunities within the animal management sector.

Our volunteer scheme offers a limited number of placements which allow individuals the opportunity to gain practical skills working within a professional facility completing tasks with a wide range of reptile, amphibian an invertebrate species that are normally only seen in zoological collections.

This scheme is held on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday at our education centre between 19.00 - 21.30. Volunteers are asked to attend one evening a week.

Activities Include - Spot / full enclosure cleans, feeding, water changes, record keeping and completing health checks.

Volunteers can also join our team whilst they deliver educational events, booked though our outreach education programme. This offers opportunities to build on public speaking and event management skills.
