Job Overview
We are seeking a reliable and hard working person to join our small team at our Norwich auction house. The ideal candidate will have a clean driving license and be able to drive a Luton van (3.5 ton) and be comfortable helping and being friendly with our customers. They would ideally be happy dealing with the public, doing physical work such as carrying furniture and boxes, helping keep our saleroom tidy, using a computer for some admin work, taking and editing product photos and other general auctions house tasks. Removals experience would be useful as we pack and move lots of items, big and small.
This role requires the ability to manage your own work load, such as organising collections and deliveries or putting aside your current task to help a waiting customer. A good relaxed and friendly manner with customers is ideal. The ability to communicate clearly and good timekeeping are a necessity.
The role is part time, 2-4 days per week. There may be the potential for a full time role in time for the right applicant. The role is partially based in our church saleroom and partially based on the road collecting and delivering goods in a van. The church is generally quite cold in the winter, with a small warm office space for respite, and being on the road will require working outdoors when loading and unloading.
We are willing to consider applicants from a variety of work backgrounds as auction house experience is unusual. What is key is a good attitude and willingness to try hard.
