• Setting up, cleaning and maintaining outdoor enclosures
• Assisting with the feeding of koalas and food preparation for other species
• Communicating patient observations with the veterinary nurse
• Recording data as directed by the nurse

• Willing and able to work outdoors in all weathers
• Physically capable of carrying loads up to 10kg and stand and walk for long periods of time
