If you're settled but restless, loyal but curious, or just quietly wondering what else is out there, welcome.

This week's Wells-area jobs round-up covers admin, analytics, care, trades and a couple of proper big-ticket roles — all within a manageable commute and without pretending work is anything other than work.

For something more hands-on (and with higher earning potential), Installer – Hillarys, Wells area could be the one. Hillarys are offering flexible full or part-time work, £50k earning potential, and a setup that suits people who like independence without office politics. Measuring windows, fitting blinds, moving on — no meetings about meetings.

If spreadsheets are more your thing, Street isn't far and has a Data Analyst – Merchandising, Street role based at head office (BA16 0EQ). Permanent position, working within a merchandising team to turn numbers into decisions that actually affect stock and sales. Salary's not listed, but if forecasting and dashboards don't make your soul leave your body, it's worth a look.

Up in Upper Langford, JPAT are recruiting a Full-time Warehouse / Stores Assistant – JPAT, Upper Langford. This is a proper Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm role dealing with automatic transmission parts — torque converters, remanufactured components and shelves that need to stay in order.
