I have the extraordinary privilege of working with some of the most amazing animals and passionate people and it never gets old, I am so lucky to wake up everyday excited to get to work and see what else we can achieve.

Junior Merchandiser

Ariana Theodoro

Working at ZSL has been an amazing experience. As a member of the buying and merchandising team, I've found a welcoming and collaborative culture. The shared passion for animal conservation unites all teams, making it the most inspiring and purpose-driven workplace I've ever been a part of.

Learning Officer, Whipsnade Zoo

Marcus Merriman

Saying I work at Whipsnade Zoo’ really doesn’t get old. Teaching young people about our diverse range of species and our incredible conservation, truly is a pleasure, and my own childhood dream come true. I believe I am championing wildlife and doing it in the most incredible setting.

 

Working for ZSL is feeling like you are playing your part in protecting endangered species. The incredible education team and I inspire and empower young people to take conservation into their own hands. Plus, is there a better place for a lunch time walk than Whipsnade Zoo?

Team Leader, Overnight Experiences

Starting as a volunteer, then becoming a member of staff, no two days at ZSL have ever been the same. I have been given numerous opportunities to progress my abilities, while still working towards the  important goals of ZSL and being a part of an open and accepting organisation.
