The UK’s largest SEA LIFE site has a new opportunity to come and work in this iconic London location. Sat facing the Houses of Parliament and next to the London Eye, we also work closely with The London Dungeon and Shrek’s Adventure, as well as the SEA LIFE aquariums across the UK.
We’re looking to recruit a new Aquarist to join our team! We have a wide variety in our collection of animals to work with from sharks, stingrays, sea turtles, the longest live coral reef exhibit in the UK, as well as the largest jellyfish collection too, a diverse Rainforest as well as a colony of Gentoo Penguins.
A structured progression plan for our display teams is now in place across the UK, which means we can now offer a role that will give you the opportunity to develop through five levels of Aquarist. You can join us between levels 1 and 5 and will be compensated accordingly, as you progress to the next tier. At our London site successful performance can lead to you developing into a Senior Aquarist and with so many attractions across the world, the opportunities are endless.
You’ll play a vital part in caring for our animals, ensuring consistently high levels of animal health and welfare as well as looking after and carrying out routine maintenance of the filtration and life support systems, crisis management equipment and environmental alarms. Other duties include back washing main filters, water changes, water quality checks, water parameters, health checks, plus training and enrichment.
You’ll prepare suitable diets and feed all livestock, as well as provide medication and treatment of animals under direction. You will also provide 24-hour alarm cover on a rota basis and maintain strict codes of practice for the use, storage and record keeping of all medications and chemicals according to HSE, COSHH and SSSMZP regulations.
This is a full-time, fixed term role, working any 5 days out of 7. This will include weekends and bank holidays on a roster basis.
If you have any questions or if you require any assistance, because of a disability or medical condition, please contact us by email at gatewayuk.recruitment@merlinentertainments.biz and one of the team will get back to you as soon as possible.
