Working for ZSL
The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) is a charity devoted to conservation and education, the worldwide conservation of animals and their habitats being the key role of the organisation.
Our scientists in the laboratory and field, animal management teams at both zoos and our veterinarians contribute wide-ranging skills and experience to both practical conservation and the scientific research that underpins this work.
We are committed to the principle of equal opportunities in employment. We apply policies that are determined solely by job criteria and personal ability.

Important Information for Applicants
Under the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006, we are required to check that anyone taking up employment with us has the legal right to work in the UK.
All shortlisted candidates will therefore be asked to provide documentary proof of this during the interview process and we will be required to take a copy of the successful candidates’ documents before the work commences.
Please note, If you are a non-EU citizen and you don’t have the relevant Visa to be able to work in the UK, we would only be able to apply for a Certificate of Sponsorship from the UK Border Agency if we can show we have met the Resident Labour Market Test and you are able to meet the required points needed under the new points-based system.
For more information please visit the UK Border Agency website: www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk
Beware of scams. ZSL will never ask for payment or charge for job applications.
