We’re thrilled to announce the first KEEP Conservation placement of 2026, in partnership with Save Vietnams Wildlife (SVW)!
This May/June (with flexibility possible for the right candidate) we’re looking to send an experienced zookeeper from the UK to Vietnam for a minimum of 3 weeks!

This looks to be an unforgettable placement to Vietnam to support the development & capacity building in Cat Tien rescue centre! Cat Tien is one of the most biodiverse areas of Vietnam and this is reflected by the inhabitants of the rescue centre, which focuses on multi species (reptiles, birds, mammals).

The aim of this placement is to work closely with the head-keeper at the rescue centre to improve enclosure setups, diet, enrichment and overall knowledge of resident staff.

This amazing opportunity is open to keepers with 5+ years’ paid full time experience. Priority is given to keepers experienced in husbandry of small mammals and/or birds – primate experience is a bonus.

All applicants must be registered KEEP members to apply.
Due to the remote location, accommodation is provided onsite but we are excited to be able to cover the costs of one successful candidate’s accommodation for the 3 weeks!

Applying to this listing will result in you being sent an application form which you will need to send to SVW who will be conducting interviews with desirable candiates, so be sure to apply quickly for the best chances.

This is a rare opportunity to share your expertise, build capacity on the ground, and contribute directly to wildlife conservation.

The closing date for applications: 5th March 2026
