Jobs in Wells this week: chalk, chainsaws and the graveyard shift

Got a whiteboard marker, a power drill, or just a questionable sleep schedule? Good news – Wells is hiring.
This week’s roundup includes everything from shaping young minds to night shifts that’ll have you questioning reality by 4am. No nonsense, no corporate sparkle – just actual jobs that need doing.
Let's start with the classrooms, where there's a steady demand for KS1 Primary Teachers. One full-time position is open starting in Term 5, and another Year 1 teaching role kicks off in Term 1 and runs until the end of the academic year. If commitment isn't your thing, supply teaching could be more your style – show up, teach, leave. No planning meetings. No laminated learning outcomes. Just teaching.

Prefer boilers to books? The multi-skilled maintenance engineer job might be your thing. Based in Wells, it offers up to £36k, overtime, and profit sharing – so you'll be paid to fix machines and also to care about them.
Logistics more your pace? There are two options depending on your sleep schedule. A Logistics Operative role will keep you busy with pallets and product picking in the daytime. Or you can go full vampire with the night shift version – same job, just darker. Both are temp-to-perm with a rate of £15.65 an hour. That's a lot of beans for moving boxes.
Over in Ditcheat, Royal Canin is hiring a Production Coordinator on a 12-month contract. It involves shift work, solving problems, and producing fancy food for pets who definitely eat better than you do. Bonus points if you can juggle hygiene protocols, data spreadsheets, and a three-week rotating shift pattern without crying.
So whether you're guiding six-year-olds through phonics or keeping factories moving at 2am, there's something for everyone in Wells this week – if you're brave enough to apply.
