Full Job Description

About us

The Reptile Room is a hands-on animal education facility in Manchester. We run our Wildlife Discovery Zone, birthday parties, private tours, school and library programs, and outreach events all over the St. Louis area. Our animals are our coworkers and our responsibility, and everything we do comes back to keeping them healthy and safe while helping people learn something they didn't know when they walked in.

We are looking for a Wildlife Discovery Zone Educator to join our team.

The three parts of this job

Every educator here works in all three of these areas. You don't get to pick one.

1. Education

Teaching guests about the animals and why they matter. Answering questions from a five year old and from their skeptical dad in the same conversation. Learning our animals well enough to talk about them without a script. Studying on your own time so you actually know what you're talking about.

2. Animal care

Helping care for the animals safely, getting them ready for programs, watching for anything that looks off, and keeping their enclosures clean. This is real animal care work, not decorative.

3. Guest experience

Working with families, running experiences, helping with birthday parties and private tours, keeping the space presentable, and representing The Reptile Room well even when it's loud and busy and you're on your fourth hour on your feet.

What you'll actually be doing

Animal care and cleaning

Clean animal enclosures before guests arrive
Spot-clean throughout the day while guests are in the building
Remove animal waste
Clean and replace soiled bedding and substrate
Wash food and water dishes
Refresh or replace substrate and enclosure materials as directed
Prepare animal food
Keep animal areas clean and sanitary
Clean up after animals that have made a mess during the day
Follow every animal-care and sanitation procedure we teach you

Education and programs

Prepare animals and enclosures for presentations
Help lead educational experiences for guests of all ages
Handle animals once you've been trained and authorized to do so
Learn our animal collection and keep studying it

Guest experience and general upkeep

Talk with guests throughout your shift
Assist with birthday parties and private tours
Help keep the Wildlife Discovery Zone clean, organized, and ready for guests
Keep the area presentable even when the facility is packed

Know before you apply

Being upfront so nobody is surprised on day one. This job involves:

Getting dirty
Cleaning animal waste
Working around animal odors
Handling dirty bedding and substrate
Cleaning enclosures
Washing dishes and supplies
Preparing animal food
Standing and walking for most of your shift
Working around excited children and families
Talking to guests all day
Handling animals only after you've been trained and cleared
Doing routine tasks that aren't glamorous
Noticing what needs doing and doing it instead of waiting to be told

None of that is a warning. It's just the job. If you're excited about wildlife education and you understand that caring for animals also means cleaning up after them, getting dirty, doing routine work, and taking responsibility, we want to meet you.

Experience: preferred, not required

Previous animal experience is a plus, not a requirement. We're happy to see experience with:

Reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, mammals, or birds
Zoos, aquariums, or nature centers
Veterinary clinics, pet stores, or animal shelters
Wildlife education, conservation, or animal husbandry

But we will train the right person from scratch. What we need you to already have:

Real interest in animals and wildlife
Willingness to learn, and to keep learning
Attention to detail
Respect for animal safety
Willingness to study and research on your own
A good attitude about cleaning and animal-care work
The ability to follow instructions and our procedures

Physical requirements

Standing, walking, bending, kneeling, and reaching for most of your shift
Lifting and carrying up to 40 pounds
Working around animals, animal waste, cleaning chemicals, feeder insects, and frozen rodents
Comfortable working in a space that can get warm and humid

Must be 18 years or older.

Availability Saturday - Sunday 10am-5:30pm

Additional hours can be added for events

Pay: $15.00 - $16.75 per hour

Benefits:

Employee discount
Flexible schedule

Application Question(s):

Tell us about any animals you've cared for, either personally or in a job. If you haven't cared for animals before, tell us why you want to start here.
A real part of this job is cleaning enclosures and removing animal waste on every single shift. Tell us about the least glamorous or dirtiest work you've done in a job, and how you felt about doing it.
How would you explain to a 6 year old why a snake sheds its skin?

Education:

High school or equivalent (Preferred)

Work Location: In person
