Whether you're looking to swap the school run for a delivery run, scrub down production lines at midnight, or step into your first fine dining role, Shepton's got options this week.

Here are ten local jobs worth your time (and maybe your CV):

Fancy working the late shift with a mop and some serious cleaning gear? The Night Hygiene Operative in Evercreech role pays £14.80/hour and involves keeping canteens, offices and production areas spotless through the night. Good for lone wolves and detail freaks.

Wired for hands-on work? A Domestic Electrician in Shepton Mallet is needed for rewiring, repairs and kitchen fits. It's full-time, permanent and comes with holiday, pension, sick pay — and a company van. £42k a year if you're qualified and switched on.

Dreaming of a job that smells like cheese and comes with spa access? The Assistant Cheesemaker/Cleaner at The Creamery in Castle Cary is your moment. £12.48/hour, some weekend shifts, and a whole estate of perks.

If audits, safety standards and shelf-life spreadsheets light your fire, the Quality Manager in Shepton Mallet gig is paying up to £40k. HACCP lovers, this one's yours.

Spreadsheet-savvy with a nose for branding? This Sales & Marketing Coordinator role based in Shepton Mallet offers hybrid working and a £28k salary. Help a utility contractor stay switched on and visible.

More into cheese than charts? Production Operatives in Ditcheat are needed to bag, seal and stack the good stuff. It's £13.37/hour with rotating shifts, and they're keen to offer long-term roles.

Got ambition (and an apron)? A Commis Chef at The Botanical Rooms could be your entry point into fine dining. £12.48/hour, staff accommodation, and dishes plated with tweezers. Very Shepton.

Want to lead the front of house instead? The Head Waiter/Waitress role at The Newt pays £13.39/hour and puts you in charge of delivering the luxury service diners expect — and keeping the junior team in line.

Behind the wheel is more your style? There's an opening for an HGV Class 1 Tramper Driver in Evercreech. £19.05/hour, plus a tidy £25 per night out. Just don't forget your tacho card.

And for those fluent in phonics and fractions, a Primary Teacher for Year 6 is needed from Term 5. It's £130/day with full class responsibilities, so bring your planning book and your patience.

Seen something that speaks to you? Don't sleep on it — jobs in Shepton have a habit of disappearing faster than the last slice of brie in a staff kitchen.
