More than 100 jobs on offer in Chester Zoo recruitment open day

The UK’s most visited wildlife charity is inviting job-seekers to a special event on Wednesday, April 27, where guests can drop in to hear about the different opportunities available.

Chester Zoo will be hosting its first recruitment day.

The zoo is offering flexible working ranging from eight to 40 hours per week within its food and beverage, retail, operations and admission teams.

The relaxed and informal session will take place in Bembe Coffee Shop at the zoo’s main entrance, located next to the Asian elephant and eastern black rhino habitats, between 2pm-8pm.

Gemma Bamford, admissions and membership manager at the zoo, said: “If you’re interested in a career at the zoo, or are looking to enjoy a flexible role around your current lifestyle, then pop along to our open day for a cuppa and a chat with our teams and we’ll take you through all of the exciting positions we have to offer.

“There are not many places in the world where can you explore a 128 acre zoo and be surrounded by 20,000 incredible animals every day. Where else can you see giraffes, lions and penguins on your lunch break?”
