About The Role
Peak Wildlife Park is looking for a sharp, highly organised Records Assistant to help keep our animal records and other paperwork accurate. This is a part-time role, one day a week; a brilliant entry point for someone office-competent who wants to build a career in the zoo and conservation sector.
You'll support the Animal Manager and Head Keeper in checking and maintaining our animal records, making sure everything is correct, complete, and properly filed. We're looking for someone with genuinely exceptional attention to detail, the kind of person who spots the error everyone else missed, and who's excited to learn how a wildlife park handles its records and regulatory paperwork.
