Antique Jewel & Gem Company is looking for a positive, reliable and hands-on Office & Jewellery Assistant to join our team.
We deal with a large and varied stock of antique, vintage and fine jewellery. We are looking for someone who can become a dependable part of the team and help with the day-to-day handling, organisation and movement of jewellery throughout the business.
This is a varied and practical role. We are particularly interested in someone with a strong work ethic, positive personality and genuine can-do attitude who is happy to get involved wherever needed.
Previous jewellery experience is preferred, but attitude, reliability and willingness to learn are equally important.
Main Responsibilities
- Laying out and organising jewellery for the day's work
- Booking new jewellery and stock into our system
- Checking jewellery against stock records
- Carefully handling, sorting and storing valuable jewellery
- Preparing jewellery for photography, viewing and other purposes
- Packing and sending jewellery to customers
- Receiving and checking incoming jewellery and deliveries
- Keeping track of jewellery as it moves through the business
- Maintaining organised jewellery trays, stock and working areas
- Assisting with general office administration
- Helping other members of the team with day-to-day tasks as required
- Taking on additional responsibilities as experience develops
Who We Are Looking For
The most important thing to us is attitude.
We are looking for someone who is:
- Positive, energetic and enthusiastic
- Hardworking with a strong can-do attitude
- Reliable, punctual and trustworthy
- Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
- Careful and responsible when handling valuable jewellery
- Able to work efficiently in a busy environment
- Comfortable using computers and learning new systems
- Flexible and happy to take on different tasks
- A good team player
- Interested in jewellery and willing to develop their knowledge
- Available to work additional hours when the business requires it
- Available to work additional Saturdays when required
Previous experience with jewellery, watches, luxury goods or a similar environment would be an advantage, but is not essential for the right candidate.
Working Hours & Overtime
This is a full-time position. Our business is also open on Saturdays, and the successful candidate will be expected to work additional Saturdays when required.
There will also be occasions when additional hours are needed during particularly busy periods.
All additional hours and Saturday overtime are paid.
We therefore want someone who has a degree of flexibility with their working hours and is willing to put in extra time when the business needs it.
Salary & Development
£30,000–£35,000 per year, depending on experience and suitability.
All overtime is paid in addition to the basic salary.
For the right person, there is significant opportunity to learn about antique and fine jewellery, develop new skills and take on greater responsibility within the company over time.
We are looking for someone who wants to become a long-term and dependable member of the team, rather than simply fill an office position.
To apply, please send your CV together with a short introduction telling us about yourself, any relevant jewellery or luxury-goods experience, and why you think you would be a good fit for Antique Jewel & Gem Company.
Pay: £30,000.00-£35,000.00 per year
Work Location: In person
