Job Description

Aquarist


SEA LIFE Hunstanton, Southern Promenade
Hunstanton, NORFOLK, PE36 5BH
United Kingdom

Fancy working with jaw-some sharks, energetic penguins, or perhaps our cheeky otters? If you’re a hardworking and experienced Aquarist, then prepare for a world of glittering scales, humongous tentacles, and razor-sharp teeth!

NEW for 2023 - a structured progression plan for our display teams is now in place across the UK, which means we can now offer a role that will give you the opportunity to develop through five levels of Aquarist. You can join us between levels 1 and 5 and will be compensated accordingly, as you progress to the next tier. Successful performance can lead to you becoming a Displays Supervisor and with so many sites across the world, the opportunities are endless.

What we are looking for

  • Experience within public aquariums involving maintenance, plumbing and operation of large life support systems
  • Strong demonstrable experience of animal husbandry
  • An understanding of the fundamentals of water chemistry as applied to an aquarium environment
  • Solid understanding of the accurate use of theming, lighting, and water movement
  • A degree level qualification in animal care, marine biology or equivalent (desirable)

You’ll play a vital part in caring for our animals, ensuring consistently high levels of animal health and welfare as well as looking after and carrying out routine maintenance of the filtration and life support systems, crisis management equipment and environmental alarms. Other duties include back washing main filters, water changes, water quality checks, water parameters, health checks, plus training and enrichment.

You’ll prepare suitable diets and feed all livestock, as well as provide medication and treatment of animals under direction. During a typical day you may be crafting enrichment for our majestic green sea turtle - Ernie or be out helping rescue seals from the Norfolk coastline! You will also provide 24-hour alarm cover on a rota basis and maintain strict codes of practice for the use, storage and record keeping of all medications and chemicals according to HSE, COSHH and SSSMZP regulations.

This is a full-time, permanent role, working any 5 days out of 7. This will include weekends and bank holidays on a roster basis.

What’s in it for you

Alongside becoming an expert in washing up, you’ll also receive:

  • A salary of £22,500 (level 1) to £24,900 (level 5) per annum
  • 40% off LEGO online and 25% discount in our retail shops and restaurants
  • Merlin Magic Pass - giving you free tickets to all our attractions worldwide for you, your family, and friends every year
  • Discounted rates at Merlin hotels all over the world
  • O2 discount
  • Employee pricing up to 55% off cinema tickets

Everyone Matters at Merlin.
At Merlin we welcome the world to our magical attractions and resorts every day and we want to reflect that same multicultural mix inside our business too. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse workplace where people can be themselves, have the same opportunities and thrive together. Because at Merlin, everyone matters! Together, we work to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, no matter their age, race, gender, disability or sexual orientation. Although we understand that we'll always be learning and growing, we aim to be the most inclusive and flexible employer in our industry.

If you have any questions or if you require any assistance, because of a disability or medical condition, please contact us by email at Midway.Recruitment@merlinentertainments.biz and one of the team will get back to you as soon as possible.
