  • Preparing tasty diets for our creatures and delivering treatments under direction.
  • Managing water parameters, backwashing filters and conducting health checks.
  • Supporting animal training and enrichment
  • Providing 24-hour alarm cover on a rota basis and ensuring all medications and chemicals are safely handled and recorded.

We currently have 2 positions available. One part-time (3 days per week) aquarist on a 12-month fixed term contract and one full-time permanent aquarist. Both roles include working weekends and bank holidays.
