WATCHMAKER WANTED IMMEDIATELY
Robert Loomes of Stamford seek to apoint a watchmaker to join a small team of clock and watch repairers.

The successful candidate will be qualified, either WOSTEP, BTEC, HND or BHI
OR have a minimum of three years experience - independent workshop or watch house.
Salary range £18 - £28,000, with considerable room to progress
Further training will be an integral aspect for less experienced candidates.

A fascinating post, the successful candidate will work on mainly vintage, high quality, models, including some complicated watches and some "obsolete" parts manufacture.  Whilst working with at least one other watch repairer, this is an opportunity to develop and grow your own field of endeavour. Some watch development and making is a distinct possibility on the good days, on the bad days you will still be expected to change the odd battery.  Our best watchmaker will be moving on in 2010, so you expect to replace him.

Stunning location in the gorgeous market town of Stamford, Lincolnshire - www.stamford.co.uk

Please see www.clockrepairer.co.uk for full details of the business or telephone 01780 481319
