About WeBuyVintage: WeBuyVintage is one of the UK’s largest buyers of jewellery, antiques and collectibles. We run more roadshows than any other UK company - over 250 valuation events every month - bringing trusted experts face-to-face with customers across the country. In three years, we’ve grown from a pub-table idea into an eight-figure business, and we’re on a mission to make WeBuyVintage a brand everyone recognises. As part of our service we also offer Home Visits, where people can get valuations in the comfort of their own home.
The Role: We are looking for a knowledgeable general antiques appraiser and buyer to attend appointments at customers' homes to provide valuations and offers. You will love talking to customers about their fascinating items and be able to quickly assess for purchase whatever you are shown.

- Present a professional, informative and respectful demeanour with all customers, whether their goods are worth £10 or £10,000.
- Make an offer to buy the customers' items with the confidence and capability to negotiate if required, as well as explain why other items may not be suitable for us.
- Attend our regular buying roadshow events as an expert and buyer from time to time.

Experience buying and/or selling antiques, collectables and jewellery either as a dealer or valuer in an auction setting. A keen and commercially savvy salesperson and negotiator. Very personable, likeable and trustworthy. You must have a car and be willing to stay away from home when locations necessitate this.
Qualifications & Experience:
- Essential: Demonstrable experience buying and/or selling antiques, collectibles, gold and jewellery.
- Excellent communication skills.
- A proven track record in building customer relationships.
- Confident negotiator with good commercial awareness.
- Full UK driving licence and own car (mileage and a car allowance are provided).
