    6 hours ago
    Part-time
    Beckenham

    Animal Expert & Nutty Professor – Wild Science Zero hours to start, with the chance to move to part-time or full-time Employed role. Do you light up around animals? Get giddy over fizzing potions and giant bubbles? We're Wild Science. We take live animals and hands-on science into schools, nurseries, SEN settings, care homes, libraries, events and birthday parties all over the UK. Now we're looking for a warm, confident Animal Expert & Nutty Professor to join our friendly team. You don't need experience, because we'll train you. What you do need is a love of animals and science, and a bit of sparkle in front of a crowd. What you'll do Run fun, hands-on animal encounters and exciting science experiments for children and adults. Drive from home to a different venue most days. No two days are the same. Look after a small group of animals at your home and give them a happy life. Store and look after your science kit at home. Keep every session safe, calm and exciting for both the animals and the audience. What you'll get Proper employment, with a contract, holiday entitlement and a workplace pension. At least £90 a day, and the more sessions you do in a day, the more you earn. 30p a mile after the first 20 miles each day (for London team member it's every mile) A £5 car maintenance payment every day you work. Bonuses for specialist bookings, reviews that name you and for party events. All science equipment and supplies, sent to your home. A payment towards basic animal care, plus help finding your animals and all the transport equipment and supplies you need. Your DBS check, animal licence and £5 million public liability insurance, all paid for by us. Full branded uniform (polo, T-shirt, hoodie, cap and lab coat) and branded promotional kit. Paid shadowing alongside experienced presenters before you go solo, plus a mentor and team chats so you're never on your own. Zero hours to start, with room to grow into part-time or full-time work. You'll be great at this if you… Love animals (including snakes, lizards, frogs and spiders) and get excited about science. Enjoy public speaking and can keep a room of children or adults engaged. Are reliable, organised and always on time. The essentials (we can't be flexible on these) A confident driver with a full UK licence and your own reliable car, ideally with at least a year's driving since passing your test. Happy to travel: different venues and different roads every day, and sometimes further afield Able to keep animals at home: a starter animal team example (for part time hours): 1 snake, 1 lizard, 1 amphibian, 4 types of invertebrate and 1 mammal (we'll help you build this up). If you already have some animals, that's a bonus. (For full time hours, minimum animal team collection should be as above, plus an additional snake and mammal). Space at home to store science equipment. Comfortable with public speaking. We can't consider non-drivers, nervous drivers, or anyone who isn't able to keep animals and science equipment at home. How to apply Send your CV and Cover Letter to us. Include a few lines on why you'd love this job and one amazing animal fact or one simple science experiment you could share with a class. Our process is quick and friendly: a short Teams interview where you give a brief talk about an animal you love, then on the road training (shadowing), then on to your first solo session.
