Full job description

Snakes one day, exploding foam the next. Wild Science is looking their next Animal Expert and Nutty Proffessor to join their growing team.

The job
Deliver both live animal encounters and hands-on science shows at schools, nurseries, care homes, libraries, SEN settings and parties. You'll care for a small collection of animals at home (we help with all of it) and run wow-factor experiments with the kit we send you. You bring the energy.

The deal

  • Employed: contract, holiday, pension. Full-time or flexible hours.
  • From £90/day, rising with each session.
  • Mileage (30p/mile) + £5 daily car allowance.
  • Bonuses: premium animals, named reviews, SEN bookings, Expert of the Month.
  • We provide everything: uniform, branded kit, all science equipment (stored at home), and animal transport gear + a fee for basic animal care.
  • We cover your DBS, £5m PL insurance and Animal Activity Licence.
  • Full training and shadowing, plus a mentor and team chat — never on your own.

You'll need

  • Full UK licence and your own reliable car.
  • To house a small collection of animals at home, and store science kits.
  • To be happy having an Enhanced DBS (we arrange it).

Love animals AND science, and happy in front of a crowd? This is the one. No experience needed, but you must drive confidently and be able to keep animals at home. Sorry, we can't consider non-drivers or anyone who can't house animals.

Apply: CV + a quick note to jobs@wsonline.co.uk. Short Teams chat (two-minute talk on your favourite animal, no slides), then paid training and shadowing.

Pay: £90.00-£200.00 per day
