Local News by Laura Linham 8th May 2026

If your idea of career progression currently involves moving from one side of the sofa to the other, Wells employers may have other plans for you. Fresh vacancies this week include logistics, catering and trades roles, with local firms looking for everyone from painters and decorators to warehouse and cooking operatives.

Roles currently listed on Nub News cover education, marketing, care, logistics, manufacturing, finance and trades. So whether your dream is spreadsheets, saucepans or stacking pallets, there is something to click on.

In Street, Clarks is advertising for a Global Head of Marketing - Clarks Originals. Big shoes to fill, quite literally. The company is also looking for a Junior Graphic Designer - Summer Intern, ideal for someone creative who can tell their CMYK from their OMG.

Millfield School is seeking a Clerk to the Governors and Compliance Officer, a full-time senior governance role with a closing date of Sunday, 24 May 2026. It is one for the highly organised, the discreet, and anyone who has ever looked at a meeting agenda and thought: "I can improve this."

Brookside Academy Nursery is recruiting a Nursery Practitioner - Level 3, with a listed salary of £25,562.81 a year and a closing date of Monday, 11 May 2026. Patience, kindness and the ability to remain cheerful in the presence of glitter are likely to help.

Other Street vacancies include a Service Manager, a Care Home Chef, and a Course Leader A Level Computer Science.

In Shepton Mallet, Somerset Community Foundation is advertising for a Senior Fundraising Manager, based at Yeoman House at the Bath and West Showground. A good fit for someone who can charm donors, juggle strategy and still remember where they saved the spreadsheet.

Manufacturing and warehouse roles include a Production Operative, a Counterbalance Forklift Driver, and HGV Class 2 Drivers. Not glamorous, perhaps, but try running Somerset without people who can actually move things.

Near Castle Cary, The Newt in Somerset has roles listed for a Senior Systems Lead and a Head of Finance - Commerce. Beautiful surroundings, serious responsibility, and presumably fewer excuses for dull lunch breaks.

In Wells, current listings include a Painter & Decorator, a Logistics Operative, and a Preparation / Cooking Operative.

More vacancies are available through the Nub News jobs pages for Glastonbury and Street, Shepton Mallet and Wells. Dust off the CV. Or at least open the file and pretend you did not last update it in 2019.
