Create and update education materials: presentations, signage, displays and other resources.
Take care of the education room and its resources (shared with our Supporter Engagement team), the educational trail, signage and displays, and flag upkeep needs in the herbal gardens.
Build strong relationships with schools, education authorities, the national park, local authorities and community partners.
Work closely with the bear care, vet and security teams so education never compromises animal care or sanctuary operations.
Keep records, collect activity data and contribute to plans and reports

Confident presenting to very different audiences, from schoolchildren and tourists to government officials.
Experience working with communities, schools and government authorities.
