Peak Wildlife Park is looking for a sharp, highly organised Records Assistant to help keep our animal records and other paperwork accurate. This is a part-time role, one day a week; a brilliant entry point for someone office-competent who wants to build a career in the zoo and conservation sector.
About The Role
You'll support the Animal Manager and Head Keeper in checking and maintaining our animal records, making sure everything is correct, complete, and properly filed. We're looking for someone with genuinely exceptional attention to detail, the kind of person who spots the error everyone else missed, and who's excited to learn how a wildlife park handles its records and regulatory paperwork.
What You'll Be Doing
- Helping keep animal records accurate and up to date
- Checking paperwork carefully for completeness and correctness
- Filing and organising documents so they're easy to find
- Flagging anything that looks missing, out of date, or inconsistent
- Picking up new systems and processes as you go
- Providing general administrative support to the Animal Manager as needed
What We're Looking For
- Excellent general office skills; confident with admin, systems, and computers
- Outstanding attention to detail; this is the single most important thing
- A genuine appetite for learning and taking on new challenges
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on a set day each week
- No previous zoo experience necessary; full training given
- An interest in animals or conservation is a bonus, not a requirement
This is a great opportunity for someone dynamic and promising who wants to grow with us.
