- Animal Care**Type**:
- Paid**Contract type**:
- Full-timeFancy working with energetic penguins, or perhaps our cheeky African dwarf crocodiles, Ntombi and Masozi? If you’re a hardworking Aquarist with a PADI dive master qualification, then prepare for a world of glittering scales, humongous tentacles, and razor-sharp teeth
Working at our BIAZA accredited SEA LIFE centre feels pretty outstanding, but also very cold, wet, and rather smelly at times Therefore, we’re looking for someone who strives for the best and has diving supervisor experience.
**What you need**
- Experience within public aquariums involving maintenance, plumbing and operation of large life support systems
- Strong demonstrable experience of animal husbandry with freshwater, marine animals, and amphibians
- An understanding of the fundamentals of water chemistry as applied to an aquarium environment
- A degree level qualification in animal care, marine biology or equivalent
- A professional level of dive qualification (PADI Dive Master) is essential for this role
Preparing the food and feeds for our animals is a big part of the job (so is the washing up). During a typical day you could be crafting enrichment for our “bale” of terrapins or scrubbing the carapace of Noah, our large Green Sea Turtle. You could also enter a display for siphoning and get really close to our rays. We have reptiles, amphibians, native marine fish, tropical fresh water, a tropical ocean display (250,000 litres) and lots of life support systems to deal with, each tank has its own dedicated system It goes without saying therefore, that you will need to ensure the highest of standards are met as you will be responsible for the cleaning, maintenance, and refurbishment.
This is a full-time permanent role and includes working a regular, fair share of weekends and bank holidays as required as well as providing emergency call out cover on a roster basis.
**What’s in it for you?**
Alongside becoming an expert in washing up, you’ll also receive:
- A salary of £21,000 - £22,500 per annum (depending on experience)
- 28 days holiday including bank holidays (growing to 33 days with service)
- 40% off LEGO online and 25% discount in our retail shops and restaurants
- Merlin Magic Pass - giving you free tickets to all our attractions worldwide for you, your family, and friends every year
- Discounted rates at Merlin hotels all over the world
- Hotel stay discounts
- O2 discount
- Employee pricing up to 55% off cinema tickets
