How clever is Enzo our Eclectus Parrot?
Parrots are very intelligent and therefore we need to keep their minds engaged.
Enzo has a variety of games he likes to play with our keepers.
Next time you visit the Sanctuary, be sure to say Hi to Enzo and his friends.

Introducing Cecilia… our newest employee who will be taking on the position of Animal Trainer at Warrawong.

Cecilia has worked in the animal industry since 2012. Beginning her career as a dog behavioural trainer, she quickly transitioned into the zoological world, and has spent the last few years working as an Animal Trainer at an interstate Wildlife Park.

Cecilia is passionate about forming strong relationships with the inhabitants of the Sanctuary and looks forward to providing them with even more behavioural enrichment and positive training experiences.

Cecilia is highly qualified and vastly experienced, so we are extremely excited to welcome her to our team.

Welcome Cecilia 😊

Unique Employment Opportunity! Animal Trainer/Hand

Unique Employment Opportunity!
Animal Trainer/Handler.

Do you have experience in animal training and conditioning, especially Australian Wildlife?
Is patience one of your attributes?
What about reliability and consistency?
If you answered yes to all of these questions then this could be your dream job!

We are seeking an experienced animal trainer to assist with crate conditioning, enrichment training and training our captive animals for our educational wildlife presentations.
You will be working with animals including but not limited to; Dingoes, Wedge Tailed Eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Barn Owls, Boobook Owls, Parrots, Squirrel Gliders...

In addition to knowledge and experience specific to animal behaviour and training, there are several skills that we are looking for in this role.
Patience: The positive reinforcement necessary to mold animal behaviour takes time. It's not possible to explain to the animal what to do, so trainers need to work with animals step by step to learn new tasks and behaviours.
Compassion: To build trust with animals, trainers must genuinely care about their well-being and work to care for them.
Stamina: The work often is physical, especially when it involves larger animals such as our Dingoes.
Reliability and consistency: Repetition is one of the keys to successfully training an animal, so trainers need to follow through on a strict schedule.
People skills: While training animals is the biggest part of the job, you'll also need good communication skills so that you can pass on the training techniques to other staff.
During training you may also oversee physical exercise, mental stimulation, and assist with medical care for the animal. You may also take part in our educational programs at the Sanctuary.

Please note, this is NOT a Zookeeping role, it is an animal training/handling role.
The advertised position will be between 10 - 20 hours a week with the view to becoming a full time position.
Please send your resume and a cover letter outlining your experience to info@warrawongws.com.au

If you know someone perfect for this role, tag away!
We are happy to accept applications from interstate.
