If you've ever dreamed of a job that gets you out at 4am, into a care home, or off to the European freight circuit—this one's for you. Shepton Mallet and the surrounding villages have a surprisingly eclectic spread of vacancies this week, from night-time trunk drivers to business analysts in training. Settle in.

The Haulage Horde

It's a bumper week for anyone with an HGV licence and a functioning alarm clock. Veolia in Ditcheat needs a Class 2 Driver for early-morning waste collection. There's also a Multi-Drop Class 2 Driver role in Shepton (temp, £16/hour), and a Recycling Driver in Evercreech (£16/hour with OT). Prefer the open road at night? A Class C+E Trunk Driver gig is going too—roughly £16.50/hour for ferrying freight in the moonlight. And while it may have technically expired, the listing for a Class 1 Night Driver at £17/hour is still up. Worth a punt if your tacho's up to scratch.

If your idea of work involves fewer axle checks and more spreadsheets, there's a Business Analyst Placement Programme on offer—designed to train up the analytically inclined, no experience needed. Meanwhile, those with logistics savvy and European charm might suit the Business Development Manager role for a freight-forwarding firm working across the continent. No baguette jokes, we promise.

Care & Support (and Paperwork)

Castle Cary's Weavers Lodge is after a Support Worker to help adults with learning disabilities live more independently. It's full-time and firmly hands-on. If you're more the clipboard-and-CQC-compliance type, there's also a Registered Home Manager role near Wincanton—running a small care home with all the staffing and standards that come with it.

Engineering, But Make It Electrical

And finally, if you're technically minded and not afraid of early starts, there's an Electrical Maintenance Engineer role going with a decent salary (£45k-ish) and multiskilled training. Early and day shifts only, so you might even get your evenings back.

As always, more local listings await on the Shepton Mallet Nub News jobs board. Whether you're chasing overtime or office hours, there's likely something with your name on it.
