If you're job hunting, plotting your next move, or just scrolling instead of putting the bins out, here's what's on the jobs board around Shepton Mallet right now.

First up, a local SME is on the lookout for a Senior Finance Assistant. It's numbers, forms, ledgers and the kind of satisfying month-end reporting that only true spreadsheet romantics enjoy. You'll need to know your way around Sage 50 and have an AAT in your back pocket. They're offering £32.5k, private healthcare, 25 days' holiday, and parking. That's more than you get at most yoga retreats.

Meanwhile, over at Shepton Mallet Hospital, there's a chance to ditch the desk job and pick up a toolbox. They're hiring a Hospital Engineering Technician, and it's all about keeping systems running, safety ticking, and maybe even mentoring a junior or two. The salary's £39k, the environment is patient-facing (in a good way), and yes, it counts as a proper job to tell your nan about.

In the world of sales, there's an opening for an Internal Sales Executive in Shepton. The company's all about sustainability, so you'll be selling the good stuff – and managing projects from quote to order. Pay starts at £28k with OTE up to £42k, and they're promising support, training and benefits that actually benefit.

Fancy yourself more on the operational side of things? A Contracts Supervisor role is open for someone with a background in timber frame construction. You'll be managing sites across the South West but based in Shepton – a nice balance of getting out and still being home in time for tea.

Thinking of starting from scratch? The Trainee Project Co-ordinator Placement Programme might be your way in. Yes, there are training fees (boo), but there's a money-back guarantee if you're not placed in a job within 12 months (yay). Includes PRINCE2, APM and something called simulated project work, which honestly sounds like a fun video game.

Mars is hiring in Castle Cary for a Demand Planner. It's all forecasting, data wrangling and liaising with sales folk across 700 products and 14 channels. You'll need some supply chain experience and a brain that enjoys a good spreadsheet. Pay is £31.9k–£35.9k plus bonus, and you get to say you work with chocolate.

Over in the warehouse, there's a night shift role going for a Warehouse Operative in Castle Cary. It's temp-to-perm, pays £14.10 an hour, and you'll need your own wheels. Ideal if you like peace, quiet, and lifting things.

If you're more experienced with heavy machinery than heavy traffic, the Industrial Maintenance Supervisor role in Shepton might be your next big thing. Up to £58k, nights-based shifts, and absolutely no need to stay away from home. Bring your mechanical know-how and prepare to lead a team.

Mars is also after a General Accountant (Order to Cash). This one's all about compliance, internal controls and monthly reports. It's data-heavy and comes with the kind of corporate backing that might finally let you buy that ergonomic chair.

And finally, if you prefer dustpans to deadlines, The Newt in Castle Cary is hiring a Hotel Cleaner for their public areas. It pays up to £12.48/hour plus tronc and perks, and includes spa access, meals and even discounts at the Eden Project and Kew Gardens. You will need a driving licence and a decent amount of polish.
