  • Knowledge of species-specific needs: diet, behavior, handling, and enrichment
  • Comfortable working around loud environments and complex personalities
  • Reliable, patient, detail-oriented, and willing to learn
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Able to work weekends/holidays as part of a rotating schedule

Why Work at Alaqua?

- Learn and grow alongside a passionate, knowledgeable animal care team
