About the company
House of Cameras purchases and refurbishes second-hand cameras, lenses, and accessories and sells to photographers across the UK. We ship 60+ orders a week from Alexandra Palace, London. You'll be our first full-time hire, joining a small, friendly team in a growing business and working directly with the owner.
Role overview
Your role is to make sure every item we sell works and is described, sold, and shipped accurately. No experience in the industry is needed: we'll train you to test, grade, and clean camera gear properly. What matters is that you're accurate, reliable, take pride in having good attention to detail, and are willing to learn. The role doesn't include repairs currently.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Product photos. Take the standard set of product photos for each item.
- Packing. Wrap orders securely, attach the shipping label, and drop off and collect parcels from the post room.
