Welcome to Paignton Zoo

Become a volunteer

You don’t have to support the Zoo with money, why not give your time and become a volunteer?
  • Are you interested in conservation?
  • Do you have time to spare?
  • Are you keen to volunteer as part of a team?
  • Are you eager to meet new people?

If the answer is yes then, then join the volunteer team at Paignton Zoo. We are always looking for reliable volunteers, and although volunteers do not work directly with the animals, all of the activities they are involved with contribute directly to the Zoo and its conservation projects.

Typical volunteers activities
  • fundraising
  • environmental enrichment
  • bird handling support for the bird shows
  • research
  • animal food preparation
  • interpretation
  • assisting with animal and plant adoptions
  • zoo education services
  • visitor services
  • events

Interested?
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer you need to decide how many hours and on which days you can commit time (nearly all of the activities cover a 7 day rota) and complete and return the application form.

Please note that all volunteers must be aged 16 years or over.

Please note: Due to the volume of applications you will only be contacted if you are short listed.

In return . . .
. . . you will be provided with a uniform, invited to social events for staff and volunteers and have the satisfaction of helping a local conservation charity.

If you have any questions or would like to find out more, please contact the Volunteer Co-ordinator by email.
