Career opportunities are stacking up again in Shepton Mallet, with roles across education, logistics, engineering, hospitality and care all on the lookout for the right person.

Whether you're after a new challenge, a shorter commute or simply a job that doesn't make you sigh every Monday, here's what's currently up for grabs.

If your strengths sit somewhere between patience, resilience and spotting trouble brewing at 20 paces, the latest Learning facilitator vacancy could be a good fit. Working across SEN and SEMH settings in Somerset, it is hands-on support in schools with flexible days and plenty of on-the-job training.

On the engineering front, factories are still crying out for people who know one end of a spanner from the other. A Shift engineer role in Shepton Mallet will see you keeping production lines moving, while a Multi skilled maintenance engineer post offers a permanent slot on the tools with overtime for those who like a busy rota.

Drivers are in demand too. Pure Staff is recruiting an HGV Class 2 driver for local work out of Shepton Mallet, and GR8 Connect is looking for a Class 2 driver on waste and recycling routes. If you prefer loading bays to lay-bys, Torr Quarry has a Forklift operator job on offer, shifting materials around site and keeping things moving safely.

Those happier on the line than on the road might prefer a Packing operative role in Castle Cary, with steady shifts and the chance of something longer term if it suits both sides.

Over in hospitality, a Somerset venue is on the hunt for an Assistant restaurant manager who can juggle rotas, lead service and keep standards high, without frightening the waiting staff.

If you measure job satisfaction in people helped rather than products shipped, there are options in social care as well. A Support worker post in the Castle Cary area focuses on adults with additional needs, offering flexible hours and the chance to build proper relationships with the people you support.

For those thinking about turning that into a full-blown career, there is also a Trainee social worker programme based around Shepton Mallet, aimed at people ready to train on the job.
