Have you ever been Car Spotting? Standing out in the cold, by the motorway, snapping pictures of cars as they go by?

Maybe not.

But how about taking pictures inside, in the warm(ish), where the cars are brought to you. You're stood inside our state-of-the-art imaging bay put together by the same people who did all the lighting on the Harry Potter films. That sounds more fun.

CarShop sell cars, we sell a lot of cars. Last year we sold over 29,000 - this year it will be more. Every car we sell is put on our website, with 20-30 high quality images to help our customers understand what they're looking at. That's a lot of images.

As an imaging merchandiser, you'll be taking these images. You'll get in the car, move it onto our turntable, and let the camera take images as it rotates. Then, you'll walk over to the car and take pictures of all the details, like the wheels and dashboard.

Then you'll upload these images onto our system, pick out the best ones to put online, move the car out of the imaging bay and start it all again.

It's a long 12-hour day, and its physical work, so you'll need to be relatively fit.

You'll also need to know your way around a digital camera, and a computer.

Right now we're recruiting for someone to cover a long term absence, so we can't tell you how long this will last, but there's always the chance of a permanent job at the end. In the meantime, it's a full time contract position paying £9.00 p/h. 

If you're interested - hit the apply button and we'll be in touch.
