If you're hovering somewhere between gainfully employed and "I'd leave tomorrow if the right job showed up," welcome to your weekly temptation. Whether you want to cook, count, coordinate or courier, Shepton's got a role to match your mood.

Start strong with a Financial Controller gig at Stay Original Co. £60k a year, based in Shepton, and overseeing the purse strings for a string of boutique hotels and pubs. Full-time, permanent, and ideal for someone who can smile while explaining VAT.

Somerset Care is on the lookout for a Cook in Castle Cary. It's a proper care home kitchen role — hearty meals, real appreciation, and weekend pay at £14.55/hr.

Same postcode, different apron: Cary Brook also needs an Activity Co-ordinator. £13.26/hr, full training included, and your chance to make Tuesday mornings genuinely enjoyable for a room full of residents.

There's a Warehouse Assistant spot in nearby Upper Langford with JPAT. It's torque converters and remanufactured auto parts. Very much appreciated if you know your way around a label gun and can find the right shelf first time.

Or take to the road: a Driver Rep role out of Glastonbury offers £55k and pre-arranged appointments. It's not Deliveroo, it's demo kits and friendly quotes. No cold calls. Full-time.

Based in Wells, but a good hop for Shepton folk: Service Administrator needed to wrangle job sheets, engineer visits, and customer queries for JLA. Contract role, £24k a year, and less likely to result in printer rage than most office jobs.

Chartwells is hiring Chefs in both Glasto (£14.02/hr) and Street (£13.50/hr). 40 hours a week, full-time and permanent, and likely no Sunday roasts in sight.

Or go full cathedral class: Wells Cathedral School has a Sous Chef opening at £30k/year. No oven chips. Full-time.

Looking for flexible hours and a bit of self-employment freedom? Hillarys is after Installers in the area. Window fittings, £50k potential, and no office politics. If you can measure a bay window without swearing, this might be for you.

Clarks HQ in Street has a Data Analyst role going in their Merchandising team. If you're fluent in spreadsheets and can explain "forecast accuracy" without sighing, they want you. Permanent, but salary's a mystery.

That's your Shepton scoop. For more job leads, side-hustle ideas and the occasional curveball, head over to the Shepton Mallet Nub News jobs board. Until next week!
