Job Title: Wildlife Data Specialist

The Saving Wildcats project is a European partnership dedicated to Scottish wildcat conservation and recovery.

We are seeking a data volunteer to assist our ex-situ conservation team with daily behavior monitoring via CCTV and data recording from enclosures in our Conservation Breeding for Release Centre (CBRC).

This role involves working closely with our experienced wildcat keeper team, managing large datasets, and performing additional duties to support the keeper team.

A full-time position during office hours, with possible volunteering hours on some weekends as agreed by the senior keepers in advance.

You will gain direct practical experience of CCTV use, species-specific behavior monitoring, data handling and recording, as well as an insight into the design and management of a dedicated conservation breeding for release centre.

What we're looking for:

  • A career in ex-situ conservation or zoo animal management
  • Confidence in handling large datasets, working in Excel and meticulous attention to detail

Previous experience of working or volunteering in a zoo environment or experience with wild animal behaviour monitoring/observations would be desirable but not essential.

We offer local accommodation, discounted lunch at the on-site café, and expenses of up to £50 per week. The estimated salary for this position is around £25,000-£30,000 per annum, depending on location and qualifications.

Location: Highland Wildlife Park in Kincraig, Scotland
