In charge, in catering, or just in need of a change

If you're the kind of person who can juggle rotas, calm chaos and still remember to smile, there's an Assistant restaurant manager role waiting. You'll be steering the ship during service, keeping standards high and staff happier than the customers.

Prefer aprons to spreadsheets? Lifeways has openings for Care support workers. It's all about supporting residents with everyday life and showing the sort of patience usually reserved for broadband engineers.

Tools, tech, and the thrill of a job ticket

Somerset Council is after a Project manager / professional who knows their way around a facilities plan and a purchase order. Expect spreadsheets, site visits and the occasional heroic email chain.

If you're handier with a wrench than a Word doc, Ganymede Solutions wants a Maintenance technician to keep mechanical systems in check. Fault-finding, safety checks and a firm handshake all included.

Behind the wheel and under the hood

Drivers, your moment: Thrive Group is hiring HGV Class 2 drivers for local runs and regional hauls. CPC, tacho and an appreciation for Somerset's finest B-roads required.

Meanwhile, at Mars Petcare, there's a chance to join the team that keeps the kibble coming. Apply for Multiskilled engineering technician – Mars Petcare and you'll be elbows-deep in machinery that probably costs more than your house.

Engineers of all flavours

If you're an electrically-minded tinkerer, try this Multi-skilled maintenance engineer (electrical bias) post. Prefer a broader brief? There's a straight-up Multi-skilled maintenance engineer job too — both involve keeping production lines alive and machinery humming instead of clanking.

Starting out, starting small, or starting over

There's even a Trainee project co-ordinator placement for those looking to swap "entry-level panic" for actual project experience. Think meetings, mentoring and mild confusion.

And finally, for anyone who measures job satisfaction in smiles not spreadsheets, there's a Support worker role helping adults with additional needs. It's meaningful, rewarding, and occasionally exhausting — in a good way.
