ZOO CAREERS
When they consider working at a zoo, most people think "zoo keeper" or "veterinarian". Yet, these are only two of the many vitally important zoo jobs.
It takes a lot of talented, committed people to look after and display a large collection of wildlife. The Toronto Zoo has more than 250 permanent employees; their numbers are distributed amongst these roles:

In addition to our permanent employees, 250 volunteers donate their time guiding tours for schools and other groups, performing outreach presentations in the community, and assisting with ongoing research by observing animals.
During the summer months, more than 200 seasonal staff are hired to assist with Guest Services, Rides, Custodial, Groundskeeping, Membership and Security & Safety. Although very few new seasonal staff are assigned to the Animal Care areas, returning seasonals with zoo experience have been transferred.
