Full Job Description
An exciting job opportunity has arisen for a Collection Keeper to join the team at Washington Wetland Centre. This position will give the right candidate the opportunity to work with a diverse collection of waterfowl, Chilean flamingos and our family of Asian short clawed otters.

Whether they're taking a new visitor under their wing, or conducting ground-breaking research further afield, our team are second to none. And there's nothing we love more than watching them soar.
Whatever you do here, you'll be helping to restore wetlands and unlock their power. So, the only question left is, what role will you play?
