If your daily commute feels like a second shift, it might be worth checking out what Shepton has to offer this week.

From hands‑on quarry roles to teaching spots and heritage appointments, the town is dishing out a solid mix of work that doesn’t require a long slog to get to.

In Glastonbury, a Fire and Security Service Engineer role is offering up to £42,000 a year and a company van you can use as your own. Not a bad way to spend the day if you like making sure things don't go bang when they shouldn't.

For teachers tired of traditional classrooms, a Primary Outreach Tutor post is available — working one‑on‑one with students who've checked out of mainstream education. Part‑time hours, £25 an hour, and a chance to help kids find their way. Not for the faint‑hearted, but a rewarding option if you're up for it.

Meanwhile, Hillarys needs a Blinds and Curtains Installer in both Glastonbury and Street. It's self‑employed, so you pick your hours and work when you want — though you'll need to cough up for the toolkit and training.

Early risers can make a mint with the News Team Group. Delivery drivers in Glastonbury are out the door by 3.30am and finished by breakfast, making up to £90 a day. Not glamorous, but it beats crawling down the A37 every morning.

Over in Wells, a growing business needs a Warehouse and Logistics Co‑ordinator. Part‑time, permanent, and ideal for someone who likes to get things done and stay local. Meanwhile, a pharmacy in town needs a Dispenser — ideal for those with an NVQ Level 2 in Pharmacy Services and an aversion to long commutes.

If you can fix things with more than a hammer and some tape, a Maintenance Engineer role in Wells offers a salary of up to £36,000, solid benefits and the chance to work somewhere you can actually get to in under an hour. Not bad at all.

Then, across the hills in Shepton Mallet, Holcim UK needs a Mechanical Maintenance Supervisor for the night shift at Torr Works Quarry. They'll pay well for someone who knows their way around an NVQ Level 3 and doesn't mind working after dark. The site also needs an Assessor and Trainer to help new staff get up to speed — ideal for those with hands‑on experience and the right qualifications.

Closer to town, Supply Education Alliance is looking for Secondary Supply Teachers. Flexible hours, daily rates between £130–£200, and none of the staff‑room politics you swore you'd never miss.

Whether you're an engineer, educator or delivery hero, this week's jobs have one thing in common: you won't spend half your life on the A37 trying to get to work. So why wait? The best roles don't hang around long — and neither should you.
