What opportunities are there?

You could work in zoos, safari/wildlife parks, bird collections and aquariums.

Each vacancy usually attracts very high numbers of applications, but you may be able to join a waiting list if employers think you are a suitable applicant.

In larger zoos, you may be able to progress from keeper to head keeper. With a lot of experience and/or a degree you might be able to become a curator. There are usually less opportunities for promotion in smaller zoos, so you may need to move to another zoo to get a job with more responsibility.
