Behind the Scenes with Joiz

Any of our followers on social media may have been wondering as to the recruitment of our latest team member, Joiz, the helpful Elf.

Jade with Joiz having some fun in the Discovery Centre

Joiz is an amalgamation of Jade, Dolly and Izzy’s names, our newest members of staff, and the brains behind the operation. With support from Susan, who runs our social media channels, and the rest of the team, they provided a selection of fun photos and short videos to be posted across our social media channels.

Whilst we wanted to make this a bit of fun for our followers, we were careful to abide by new social media guidelines by Wildlife Rescue and Rehab experts which might encourage members of the public to interact with wild animals in inappropriate ways. As such, Joiz spent most of the month helping with admin, maintenance or general centre tasks, although they did get to help with making enrichment too!

Joiz was tasked by Father Christmas to make a list of the Naughty and Nice birds, animals, staff, volunteers and visitors who they encountered this month. Here is their list:

NAUGHTY
Rocky - for sneaking up behind Joiz after being given some enrichment
Stanley - for attacking another elf who was visiting Joiz for a few days.

NICE
Auckland - for being a good listener when someone needs someone to talk to
Jay - for fixing the broken sink in the feed kitchen, and generally being a super helpful person to have around


We hope that all of our followers have enjoyed Joiz’s adventures this year, and look forward to welcoming them back next year,
