Working as a part of our Animal Keeping team at WILD LIFE Hamilton Island you will need to deliver the highest quality exhibits, animal husbandry and guest experience at all times. The role is extremely hands on from cleaning and maintaining exhibits to cuddling a koala or even feeding a giant salt water crocodile. It requires an individual who is capable and willing to work in a physically demanding environment and cope with the wonderful warmth and humidity only the beautiful tropics can offer. This is a permanent full time role.


About You
The ideal candidate for this role will have past experience in the husbandry of Australian wildlife- especially Koalas and preferably an Animal husbandry Qualification such as a Certificate III in Captive Animal Management or the equivalent. A sound modern approach to captive animal welfare and management is essential. A full valid driver’s license and valid certificate in basic First Aid is required.

We are looking for an individual with excellent public presentation skills and a confident knowledge of our amazing Australian fauna. Attention to detail be it animal records, animal health and welfare or staff and visitor safety are strong prerequisites. Experience with the identification and collection of Koala Browse will be highly regarded although training will be provided.

Benefits
Living in the breath taking Whitsundays Islands of Tropical North Queensland waking to the calls of nature rather than the buzz of the city while earning a competitive wage, how good can it get!? Enjoy our amazing corporate partnership discounts, and of course, a Merlin Magic Pass, which entitles you and your family and friends free admission to all our attractions worldwide. Perhaps the biggest benefit of joining us however, are the invaluable opportunities for further career training and development across our ever-expanding group.
