Bristol Zoological Society, the conservation and education charity that runs and operates Wild Place Project, higher education programmes and conservation projects across the world, is recruiting an Engagement & Learning Presenter.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Public Engagement & Learning team.

The Public Engagement & Learning team is leading the development of an innovative programme of formal and informal engagement, including schools education, daily animal talks and informal engagement, exhibit interpretation and public programming such as trails and activities.

Whether visiting with their family or their school, we aim to inspire our visitors to become part of the solution to the pressures facing wildlife and ecosystems both nationally and globally.

You will have a broad experience in delivering fun and inspiring talks and presentations to all ages and abilities, as well as a passion for conservation and the natural world, including British wildlife.

You will expect to spend your days outdoors, on your feet, all year round and feel energised and enthusiastic when engaging with visitors and booked groups.

You will need to be proactive, friendly, knowledgeable, approachable, able to respond to a wide variety of audiences, and equally happy talking to a family group on a wet day, addressing a large audience on the busiest days, or delivering a high quality curriculum-linked session to a school group.

As BZP operates seven days a week, you will be doing regular weekend working on a rota.

With a new strategy in place to create a world-class Bristol Zoo and conservation and sustainability at its heart, the new Bristol Zoo Project will offer spacious, modern facilities, significant growth in our conservation and education work, and an innovative and exciting visitor experience.

The role will help to realise our vision of saving wildlife together, and you will be involved in supporting our transformation programme - driving visitor numbers at Bristol Zoo Project and excitement as plans for the new Zoo progress.

We know that everyone here at the Society can help us work alongside our communities, look after the environment, and contribute to our inclusive culture.

As a Disability Confident Employer if you identify yourself as disabled under the Equality Act 2010 definition and can demonstrate that you meet the essential criteria listed in the person specification, we will guarantee an interview.

Benefits include:

30 days of annual leave and bank holidays (Prorated, inclusive of bank hols) increasing with length of service
Access to our company pension scheme
Access to a range of resources to support your physical, mental and financial health, including access to our Employee Assistance Programme
