The Phoenix Zoo is currently seeking a part-time keeper for our Animal Resources Department.  Animal Resources keepers support designated public experiences by developing and maintaining animal cued behaviors and animal shows and programs.  AR Keepers daily duties include observation of and reporting on all assigned animals, routine husbandry, monitoring diets, performing assigned and approved Behavioral Enrichment activities and animal training procedures, conducting interpretive programs and animal stage shows, and engaging and communicating with guests. Our Spring animal show, Zoolympics, was a huge hit for the guests as well as the animals, showcasing the teams creativity and dedication in a fun and engaging way. 

The Phoenix Zoo was born of a spirit of community and the efforts of small group of dedicated volunteers, and carefully nurtured through the support of millions. We have enjoyed a truly remarkable first 50+ years.  Come be a part of our next 50 years and inspire millions more, connecting them with the natural world in new and fascinating ways. A cultural destination and a conservation organization, the Phoenix Zoo is now home to more than 1,400 animals, including 30 species that are endangered or threatened.
