The work at the centre is focused on animal husbandry and welfare, you will be providing daily care for rescued animals while assessing their readiness for release back into the wild. No two days are identical, but all of them are hands-on. You might spend a morning cleaning and restoring enclosures, an afternoon preparing food for a sun bear, and an evening observing nocturnal animals for signs of stress or poor health.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Animal care — assisting keepers with daily feeding, watering, and welfare checks across species including gibbons, orangutans, macaques, and sun bears
• Enclosure maintenance — cleaning, disinfecting, and repairing animal environments to maintain high welfare standards
• Food preparation — preparing and distributing food including pellets, meat, and live prey according to each species’ dietary needs
• Enrichment design — creating and implementing enrichment activities to support animal wellbeing and rehabilitation
• Record keeping — documenting behaviour, diet, births, and deaths to support ongoing welfare assessments
• Farm work — assisting with the centre’s organic farm, which supports the food supply for resident animals
• Conservation outreach — supporting education activities for visiting local children and international schools
