We're on a mission to educate and influence the public and protect British marine life.

As our

Education & Public Engagement Co-Ordinator

While the starting salary is 24,000+, we are open to reviewing this for the right candidate, particularly someone who can demonstrate impact in areas such as STEM teaching, group visit engagement, and effective marketing. If the role is successfully developed, we anticipate it could expand significantly within the next 2-3 years, potentially including the management of a small seasonal team and a correspondingly higher salary.

That said, we want to avoid setting unrealistic expectations from the outset. We're looking for someone proactive, self-motivated, and aligned with the Zoo's conservation goals. Someone who is passionate about building the role and demonstrating their value, rather than expecting automatic salary progression. This is as much a strategic and creative marketing role as it is educational, and we are excited by the potential it holds for the right individual.
