The Saint Lucia Racer persists on the small island of Maria Major off the coast of Saint Lucia. The estimated global population of Saint Lucia Racers is just 18 individuals making it one of the rarest snakes in the world.

We are currently seeking a highly motivated individual to lead the development and management of the Saint Lucia racer breeding facility on Saint Lucia. The Lead Technician will be responsible for the daily animal husbandry and animal welfare of all captive animals held under the Saint Lucia racer breeding programme in Saint Lucia. The successful candidate will act as Durrell’s main focal point for the Saint Lucia racer husbandry on the island and will maintain partnerships with local collaborators, especially through on-the-job training of local support and through supporting snake work on offshore islands.
