You are suitable if you have successfully completed your qualification as a zoo animal keeper and you already have experience in keeping amphibians and reptiles and the resulting expertise.

In addition to the general animal care tasks -such as food preparation, rearing and breeding – we expect you to work creatively and team-oriented in the redesign and construction of animal facilities. We attach particular importance to the constantly improving quality of our animal husbandry and increasing the attractiveness of the particular zoo section both in the public area and behind the scenes. This includes, inter alia, the performance of commented feedings and guided tours.

You should have computer skills and be willing to do minor skilled manual works. A basic technical understanding in the field terraristics is necessary. Flexibility is a matter of course for you, so that you are able to assist in other areas of our Zoo and in the Aquarium in case of holiday or sickness cover. Experience in the field of aquaristics or in the care and handling of terrestrial invertebrates is particularly advantageous.

If you can work independently as well as in a team, enjoy interacting with people and animals, have the necessary organizational talent and see yourself as a service provider, we look forward to your application.

We offer performance-linked, qualification-based payment according to the TVöD (collective agreement for the German public service) with associated company pension scheme and a future-proof employment. In the first instance, the position is a temporary position for one year. To continue is possible.
