If you're job hunting, planning a move, or just curious about what's out there, here's your round-up of what's on offer in Shepton Mallet and surrounding areas this week.

There's a hands-on role going for a hospital engineering technician at Shepton Mallet Hospital. You'll need experience in mechanical or electrical engineering — ideally in healthcare — and you'll be responsible for maintenance, safety standards, and a bit of mentoring too. The salary is £39,000, with plenty of responsibility and variety to match.

If spreadsheets are more your thing, a growing SME is looking for a finance manager to report to the MD and lead day-to-day finance operations. You'll need to be ACCA, CIMA or ACA qualified (or close), and there's £50,000 on offer for someone ready to roll up their sleeves and shape the financial future of the company.

There's also a management accountant role going for someone with Sage 50 or Microsoft Dynamics experience. You'll be handling everything from prepayments and journals to credit control and month-end reports. It's full time, office based, and comes with private healthcare, 25 days holiday and on-site parking.

If you prefer steel-toed boots to spreadsheets, a maintenance engineer is needed in Castle Cary. With a salary of up to £50,000, this role offers a Panama shift pattern (every other weekend off), plus 36 days' holiday, an annual bonus, gym membership discounts and career progression. If fixing machinery is your thing, this is a solid option.

For those with a knack for food innovation, a senior NPD technologist / food and beverage product developer is being sought in Shepton. If you've got hands-on new product development experience in the food or drink industry, and you're good with customers as well as ingredients, this R&D role could be right up your street.

If your skills lean more towards pizza than product testing, there's a senior sous chef position going in Alhampton. Experience with pizza, dough, and kitchen management is essential. The role pays around £40,000 and includes weekends and evening shifts, but offers the chance to be part of an exciting new concept.

Retail types might be interested in becoming a deputy store manager in Shepton. You'll help run the show, maximise sales, and take full charge when the manager's away. The hourly rate is £14.91, and it's a chance to gain real leadership experience on the shop floor.

And finally, if you're happiest on the road, there's steady night work available as an HGV Class 1 driver based in Shepton. The role pays up to £18.25 per hour with trunking routes, minimal handballing, and a supportive team to back you up.
