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 less than two 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.
The Role
We are looking for knowledgeable and enthusiastic Jewellery & Antiques Buyers to join our team, providing valuations and making offers at our nationwide roadshow events.
This is a varied, customer-facing role where no two days are the same. You’ll meet people from all walks of life, assess unique items, and buy directly from members of the public across the UK.
If you have a keen eye for value, enjoy meeting people, and have a passion for antiques and jewellery, this could be the perfect role for you.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
