Volunteer roles
Please click on our Volunteer Roles to take a look at further details about each role, then click here for details how to register your interest.
Once you have read through the role descriptions and are interested in volunteering on a regular day every week at Paignton Zoo:
- Decide on up to a maximum of three roles you are interested in and how many hours / on which days you can offer your time (nearly all of the activities cover a 7 day rota)
- Complete the ‘Register your interest’ form, listing up to a maximum of 3 roles as this helps with our shortlisting.
Please note:
Due to the volume of interest we receive you will only be contacted if you are short listed. If you are short listed you will be invited to an informal discussion on volunteering where, together, we will try to find the right role for you.
If you are successful in becoming a volunteer, you will be required to bring your passport to your induction meeting, plus a copy of the front cover, the photo page and any visa pages. You will also need to bring your National Insurance card or number with you.
