Health checks and close monitoring of newly rescued chimps may also be needed. Experience of post-mortem examination procedures and basic laboratory skills are required. Key responsibilities include the capture, filing and maintenance of daily data records and staff training.
An important part of the role is to also help with the overall operational management and smooth running of the sanctuary which includes staff management, general camp infrastructure monitoring, accounting and office administration tasks. The post reports to the Programme Director.
