Calling all reptile lovers!!
As the year chugs along, and with our new relocation, we are looking for some extra hands to keep up with all the bigger events we have coming up!
If you have any reptile and/or frog experience, passion or a history with public speaking we would love to get you on board for some of our upcoming shows.
Hands on experience isn’t a necessity but definitely preferred, there will be on the job training, but having a decent understanding of basic reptile facts is a MUST as the public will be relying on you to answer their many questions about the animals you have on display.
Responsibilities:
- Assist with setting up, packing down and occasionally transporting the kit and animals for bookings.
- Handle and supervise a variety of reptiles and amphibians during public displays, following appropriate animal welfare and safety procedures.
- Present educational and interactive animal displays to the public.
- Engage with visitors, sharing interesting facts and information about reptiles and amphibians.
- Confidently answer public questions regarding animal behaviour, habitats, diets, etc.
- Promote reptile and amphibian education, awareness and conservation.
- Ensure the safety of both animals and members of the public during presentations and interactions.
- Maintain clean, safe and organised animal enclosures and display areas.
- Represent the business professionally at events, schools, community gatherings, expos and other public engagements.
- Work collaboratively with the team to ensure displays and presentations run smoothly.
- Participate in on-the-job training and continue developing knowledge of reptile and amphibian species.
- Adapt to different event environments and confidently interact with audiences of all ages.
Essential Requirements:
- A genuine passion for reptiles and amphibians.
- A sound understanding of basic reptile and amphibian facts.
- Valuable communication and public speaking skills.
- A current Working With Children Check (WWCC).
- A current drivers licence and access to a reliable vehicle.
- Flexibility to travel to events across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Desirable Skills and Experience:
- Previous experience handling reptiles and/or amphibians.
- Experience in animal care, husbandry or wildlife education.
- Public speaking, presenting or customer service experience.
- Knowledge of native Australian wildlife and conservation.
If you’re interested please send us an email with a relevant resume and cover letter outlining your experience and why you think you would be a great fit for our team (
[email protected]) and we will be reaching out to suitable candidates and will book in some interviews for you to get the chance to show off your love for reptiles and amphibians.
We have events coming up in Kinglake, Seymour, Melton, Alexandra, Hurstbridge, Kalkallo, Box Hill, etc. As well as plenty more potentially popping up around Melbourne, and Victoria.
If any of these are local to you, definitely give us a buzz!!
