Reid Park Zoological Society is seeking an Animal Care Supervisor. Bachelor’s degree in a biological science, animal or zoology related plus five years’ experience in animal care at an AZA accredited institution. This must include two years supervising Zoo Keepers. Alternatively, Associates degree with 8 years’ experience including two years supervising Zoo Keepers.
The Animal Care Supervisor is responsible for supervising, mentoring, and evaluating a team of Zoo Keepers. Supervisor will be responsible for overseeing several animal areas of the zoo and all associated records. At times this position may be involved in direct animal care and habitat enhancements. This position works collaboratively with the Veterinarian Team, Facilities, Events and Education Departments.
The Carnivore Area includes African lions, jaguar, grizzly bears, lemurs, gibbon, anteater, Andean bear, tapir, and possibly others. The zoo expansion includes a breeding facility for tigers and a sloth bear facility, fishing cat habitat, and other smaller animals as well. The dangerous animals utilize a 2 person/ 2 lock method for shifting animals. The team works more closely for animal training than other areas within the zoo. Animals are trained to voluntarily participate in their health care and therefore the Supervisor and keepers work closely with the vet team. Additionally, the enrichment expectations involve lots of habitat changes (which ideally the Supervisor is willing to assist the team with) and currently the areas have several large pool systems (shared responsibility with Animal Care and Maintenance). All animals are included in minimum of monthly welfare assessments and this position oversees direction from the group on changes to make for the animals (may be habitat enhancements, different training plans, novel enrichment, health related, or routine changes etc.).
Reports to Director of Zoological Operations.
