Advertise Wildlife Work and Animal Care vacancies
The number of vacancies within the wildlife work field that CJS has advertised has gradually increased year on year and in 2021 accounted for 3.5% of total advertised. Since 2015 in response to request from readers we have included adverts for animal care as well as for wildlife project work. After the 2017 survey we also added zoo work, also at the readers' request.

I have used CJS to recruit staff and volunteers for years. I always find the service professional and the response high. It makes my job much easier! Amy Hannan, The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust
I was delighted with the service from the CJS team. Not only were they friendly and efficient, we also received a high return of good quality applications and were able to recruit in good time. Barbra Smith, Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust
I remember eagerly awaiting for CJS to drop through my door when I was job hunting twenty years ago. I was impressed to hear that it was still top of everyone's list when I asked where we should advertise a post recently. Julia Lofthouse, BBOWT
