Gibbon Keeper

You're on morning rounds and notice a gibbon isolating herself from the group, barely touching her food – no vet on-site yet. Two enclosures down, you spot a gap in the fencing that wasn't there yesterday.

If you already have a sense of the answer and know exactly what to do – we want to hear from you.

Note: Shortlisted candidates will be required to attend a 3–5 day on-site training as part of the final selection process.
