Careers in Zoos and Conservation with RZSS and Speakers for Schools

Work Inspiration and Preparation Provided by Speakers for Schools

With Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland's Capital and The Highland Wildlife Park in the beautiful North, students Scotland-wide can consider a career at RZSS to make a difference.

 

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) is a wildlife conservation charity with a bold vision: To create a world where nature is protected, valued and loved. 

 

With more than a million species at risk of extinction, our planet's life support system is in crisis and we have made 3 pledges:

Reverse the decline of at least 50 species by 2030

Create deeper connections with nature for more than 1 million people by 2030

Enable more than 100 communities to better protect nature

It takes many people across a variety of roles to make this happen!

 

Join this virtual insight session to inspire you to consider the vast range of roles within RZSS, including retail, hospitality, events, zookeeping, marketing… and more!

 

RZSS Discovery and Learning Team will virtually guide you through how you can get started in your zoo career!
