About Us
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.
While our roadshows are perfect for most people, we recognise there are individuals where a more personalised service is needed. Through a growing team of buyers located around England, our Home Visit service provides quick and professional visits to any home. We provide no obligation offers and advice on a wide variety of items with instant bank payment and collection if accepted.
The Role
We are seeking a highly organised and detail-oriented Event Booking Coordinator to join our roadshow booking team. Our team books over 200 roadshow events a month in village halls, community centres, and parish halls across the country. The successful candidate will be responsible for all admin tasks related to our roadshow events including researching and contacting venues, planning and organising our events, ensuring that all tasks are completed to a high standard allowing our roadshow events to run smoothly.

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.
