Key Responsibilities:- Deliver Outstanding Customer Service: Maintain high standards of customer service across all Visitor Services functions, ensuring every visitor enjoys a positive and memorable experience.
- Be a ZSL Ambassador: Represent ZSL with professionalism and enthusiasm, while actively participating in ongoing training, including mandatory courses.
