Reptile Encounters in the vibrant heart of Burwood, Victoria, is on the prowl for dynamic, spirited, and utterly wild individuals to take on the role of Wildlife Ambassador.

Who We Are: At Reptile Encounters, we're not just about scales and tails – we're on a mission! We're a team of passionate nature enthusiasts dedicated to bridging the gap between humans and our incredible Australian wildlife. We're not just talking about kangaroos and koalas (although they're pretty awesome too), but also those creatures that often go unnoticed – the slithery, scaly, and fascinating reptiles that call this land Down Under their home.
The Role: Wildlife Ambassador Extraordinaire Picture this: you, decked out in our zoo uniform, armed with knowledge, and an enthusiastic smile that could rival the sun's rays, engaging with a captivated audience eager to learn about our unique wildlife. Your days will be filled with sharing amazing facts, busting myths, and getting hands-on with our wildlife friends. It's like being a rockstar, but instead of a guitar, you'll be wielding a python!
Responsibilities:
🦎 Lead engaging and interactive presentations that will leave jaws dropped and minds blown.
🐍 Get up close and personal with our wildlife residents, proving that they're not as "scary" as people think.
🦘 Ignite a love for nature in the hearts of kids and adults alike, fostering a generation of wildlife heroes.
🌿 Channel your inner David Attenborough as you narrate the wondrous lives of our animal friends.
📸 Pose for countless photos – after all, who wouldn't want a snapshot with someone who pals around with pythons?
What You Bring:
🌈 Your electric personality: You radiate positivity and can turn any frown upside down.
🎉 Enthusiasm that's as infectious as a case of the giggles.
📚 A desire to learn and share your knowledge of Australian wildlife, no matter how many legs it has.

🌏 A heart brimming with a deep love and respect for Mother Nature.
🐊 Fearless handling skills - If handling pythons is a breeze for you, you're our kind of ambassador!
🐢 Extensive experience with wildlife handling and keeping, especially reptiles. Personal experience in keeping and caring for reptiles and other pets is a huge plus!

🦎 An opportunity to be a voice for the voiceless, championing the rights of our animal friends.
🌞 Sunshine-filled days spent outside, connecting people with nature.
