- Greet clients and accept goods into the saleroom, carrying out correct stock entry procedures.

- Assist with photography and presentation of lots in the saleroom.

- Answer client and public enquiries by phone and email, ensuring enquiries are dealt with efficiently and courteously.

- Assist auctioneers, cataloguers and other staff with various tasks before, during and after the auction.

- Other basic tasks as and when needed.

Training for the above will be provided.

Required Skills & Experience

- Good interpersonal skills and the ability to work well within a team.

- Ability to lift and move heavy items safely and comfortably.

- Occasionally, the flexibility to work outside normal hours as and when required in order to meet deadlines.
