Job Description

Hours: 9:30am to 5:30pm every weekday except Tuesdays - four days per week. Plus the first Saturday of every month (Auction Sale Day). Equivalent to 130.0 hours per month or 30.0 hours per week, but the hours worked could be negotiable.

The role chiefly involves photographing, cataloguing and lot stickering consigned items ready for sale, essentially having responsibility for producing the sale catalogue each month, as well as part time covering our Front Desk to welcome clients and answer the telephone to deal with customer queries.

Further duties include portering clients' items around Batemans' site, answering general queries from the general public by telephone and in person, assisting in the management of client accounts and in the operation and managing of sales.

Viewing and Saleday duties to include monitoring the public viewing (ensuring the safety & security of the lots), answering general questions from the public, greeting clients visiting our office and saleroom and helping clients with registration and bidding, answering the telephone to deal with sale enquiries, taking payments and maintaining an orderly office.

The ideal candidate will have strong administration skills, especially the ability to work accurately and methodically to a repetitive process that is different every time! Good customer service skills and a friendly character is essential as there is plenty of customer facing work. A very good working knowledge of computer based administration, typing skills etc., and being fit and healthy in order to assist in the physical 'portering' side of the job are all important. On the job training will be given to learn the auction software system we use, as well as in all the relevant areas of the auction house.

No previous auction house experience is required, however this would be very valuable. Photography skills also would be good to have, but being steady of hand, neat and organised would be more than enough!

We look forward to hearing from you if you'd like to become part of the team.
