Assist where the business demands, the Auction Team to process Lot Entries through the Praeco system to produce the weekly Sales Catalogue on time [by Wednesday evening] & randomly assist on a Sale Day [Friday] if an emergency demands
Develop the role of ‘Personal Shopper’ for those Customers who ask for such assistance. For example, some Buyers request instant notification that a certain type or genre of item is submitted for Entry. Thus, a new data record is to be established, which flags up relevant new Item arrivals & triggers notification to specific customers by their preferred contact method
After training, work from the Cinderford Showroom alone on Thursdays only, opening & closing the Premises to facilitate an additional Viewing Day for Customers [We presently close on Thursdays].

Staff Welfare in the form of Tea & Coffee is provided throughout the day & a snack lunch is also provided, although the Employee may bring their own if preferred. Comfort & Coffee Breaks may be taken at will throughout the day
Because the role is an integral part of a small Team, flexibility with the Hours of Work is expected occasionally if required due to absence of another Team Member
Fridays are not expected to be worked unless there is a Team emergency, thus providing a 3-day weekend
The business closes on Saturdays & Sundays & for an extended period of around 3 weeks over Christmas & New Year
