This week, Joe and Carrie chat to Brittney Gill, an Animal Keeper at Edinburgh Zoo. Brittney talks about her early learning experiences in Australia, including meeting a snake and falling in love with animals thereafter.

Brittney's career wasn't totally linear (a career very rarely is!) as she also trained as an apprentice hairdresser in between gaining qualifications and experience working with animals.

Listen to the full chat as we hear about the skills you need to succeed in this kind of job role.
