Car Photography jobs in Hertfordshire

Company overview

Splaat Photo is an innovative, award-winning school photography and videography company based in Stevenage. We work with schools to capture portraits, performances, sporting events and everyday school life, creating high-quality memories for families throughout the academic year.

Safeguarding, consent, data protection and the secure handling of children’s images are central to everything we do.

The role

We are looking for a reliable, friendly and detail-focused Photo Editing, Photography and Customer Service Assistant to join our team.

This is a full-time, fixed-term position for approximately four months, with the possibility of extension depending on performance and the needs of the business.

The role will be primarily based at our Stevenage office. Most of your time will be spent editing and quality-checking photographs, preparing and packaging printed orders, and assisting parents and schools with routine enquiries. You will also occasionally travel to our schools to take photographs and videos.

This could be an excellent opportunity for someone beginning their career, including a recent school or college leaver, although we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. Professional experience is not essential, and training will be provided.
