Work experience placements with the Animal Management Department
Animal Keeping is a demanding but rewarding career. Work experience placements with the animal management department at Africa Alive! are available to students who are currently studying at Lvl 3 National Diploma in an animal related course, A levels or higher and aged 16 years or over.
Students interested in a placement with the Animal Management Department must demonstrate a keen sense of enthusiasm and commitment and be prepared to work hard in all weather conditions. We expect students to attend every day of their placement and complete a full day’s work, cleaning animal enclosures and preparing animal diets under the supervision of a keeper.
Placements can be block release, or single days, dependant on your requirements.
To secure a booking, students must have completed and returned student and college forms and paid a non-refundable administration fee of £125.00.
For more information about work experience placements please contact Louise Knock on 01502 744143 or email louise.knock@africa-alive.co.uk
