Join our Site Operations team at London Zoo as a Grounds & Logistics Operative. You’ll play a key role in maintaining the zoo’s immaculate grounds, ensuring they are always welcoming and of the highest standard for our visitors.
Your day will be varied with both routine and special maintenance tasks, responding to ever-changing priorities. Exceptional customer care and confident problem-solving are essential, as you assist visitors and tackle issues independently. The position also requires you to drive a range of fleet and plant vehicles, so a full UK or international driving licence with at least one year’s road experience is essential. If you’re ready for a rewarding role that makes a real difference every day, we want to hear from you.
This role is offered on as a 1-year fixed term contract. As our zoos are open seven days a week, your schedule will follow a rota which includes weekends and bank holidays. We aim to balance business needs with personal flexibility, so you’ll have advance notice of your shifts to help plan your time.
Key responsibilities:
- Interaction with visitors by answering questions and providing directions whilst promoting professionalism and ZSL values and behaviours in customer care.
- Help keep site signage, picnic benches clean and dry off items that may become wet due to weather conditions.
- Litter picking, changing of bins and weeding/deep cleaning of areas whilst promoting high standards of hygiene and cleanliness.
- Driving utility, fleet and plant vehicles in collecting, delivering and removal of items around site and often offsite.
