Job available immediately
Position: Sanctuary Animal Caregiver/Maintenance
Role: Primarily to provide animal care to over 400
non-human primates, including Japanese snow monkeys, baboons and vervets,
at the Animal Protection Institute's Primate Sanctuary in Southwest Texas.
Grounds and enclosure maintenance work is also expected.
Compensation: $12,000-14,000 per year; on-site
accommodation may be available; insurance and other ancillary benefits
after probationary period.
Closing date: 15th August 2005 or when suitable candidate
is found.
Personal Specifications:
We require a committed, reliable, and hard-working
individual who is willing to work outdoors under all weather conditions.
Although the work is physically demanding, it is spiritually rewarding.
This is an exciting opportunity for anyone who has a strong interest in
working directly with non-human primates. Our Sanctuary is unique in that
most of our residents live freely in large, natural enclosures. For those
primates who have been rescued from appalling conditions, watching their
rehabilitation and re-socialization, although a challenge, is particularly
gratifying.
* A responsible, conscientious person committed to the
well-being of nonhuman animals.
* Experience working with nonhuman animals is preferred.
* Experience with small engine machinery (such as mowers, trimmers), basic
carpentry or similar work requiring manual dexterity and skills is
preferred.
* An ability to work on own initiative as well as being part of a team.
* The individual must have a US driving license or must obtain one, in
order to drive Sanctuary vehicles for job-related functions.
The Sanctuary is located in a relatively remote part of
Texas. The individual must be self-reliant and prepared to work and live
in a fairly isolated location with high heat and humidity for much of the
year.
