Working at AAP

AAP is an international organisation with a beautiful ambition, located on a spacious and modern location, in the middle of the green, near Almere. In rather more than 35 years, AAP has grown from a small volunteer organisation to a medium-sized professional organisation with around 70 people in employment. In addition, volunteer work still holds an important position. There is also place for trainees from various institutes, for example MBO-Dierverzorging, HBO-Diermanagement, HEAO, NME and others.

Nowhere else can you see the result of your work so directly: every animal under our care is recovering. You will work in a close team with diverse activities, form animal care to fund raising, from policymaking to system manager, but all with the same ambition.

AAP's work is not limited to the sanctuary in Almere, but is extended in Europe. The Life Time Care Center Primadomus, our new facility close to Alicante, Spain, will in the next years offer permanent care for a large number of monkeys.

AAP distinguishes itself for an enormous passion, from ambition and a social but also professional culture. Within the diverse and international teams there is an informal and personal atmosphere. Working for AAP requires feeling with a non-commercial organisation in general, and enhancing the well-being of exotic animals in particular.
