Whether you're looking to get hands-on, switch industries, or finally start something with a future, there's something here that might just tempt you to click 'apply'.

First up, Royal Canin is on the hunt for a weekend Key Operator to join their team in Chewton Mendip. If you've got FMCG experience and don't mind alternating shifts across Friday, Saturday, Sunday (and occasionally Monday), this could be your moment. The job offers around £28,000 plus shift pay and a bonus, and you'll be working for one of the biggest names in pet nutrition. If you'd like to learn more about the role, you can read the full details on the Royal Canin application page.

For those of you in education (or hoping to be), there's a flexible Primary Supply Teacher role going in Wells. You'll be working with local schools on a short-term or daily basis, with the option of longer-term contracts down the line. If you've got QTS and recent classroom experience, it's a chance to shape young minds without locking into a full-time role straight away. Explore the position further through the supply teaching advert here.

If care is more your calling, Barchester has a Night Care Assistant vacancy in Wells. You'll need to be kind, calm, and ready to offer proper support to older residents – and in return, you'll receive training, a competitive salary, and access to their benefits package. It's meaningful work with room to grow. You can find all the information you need on the night care assistant job post.

While you're at it, Barchester is also hiring a Hospitality Host to help keep their care home dining areas running smoothly. It's not just serving food – you'll be creating a welcoming, friendly space for residents and their families. No specific qualifications needed, just a caring attitude and decent people skills. If that sounds like your thing, take a look at the host/hostess role here.

Love food and leadership? Barchester is also looking for a Head Chef. This isn't your usual care home kitchen gig – they're after someone who can lead a team, serve up quality dishes, and still get home at a decent hour. You'll need to know your HACCP from your COSHH, but they'll support you with chef training and development through their in-house academy. Find out more about the position on the Head Chef listing.

If you're more tools-and-tech than trays-and-tea, a Facilities Engineer role in Wells might be more your speed. You'll be working in a state-of-the-art food manufacturing site, balancing electrical and mechanical maintenance with opportunities for career progression. The job pays up to £45,000 and offers a healthy pension and flexi-time. For the full spec, check out the engineer vacancy here.

Looking for something to launch your career? Specsavers in Wells is offering an Optical Assistant Apprenticeship. This role is ideal for someone with a head for retail and good GCSEs who wants to earn while they learn. It's full time, pays £7.55 per hour, and leads to a Level 3 qualification. Not bad for a start in the world of optics. Find out what's involved on the apprenticeship job description.

Finally, Thrive Group is recruiting Production Operatives in Ditcheat. If you don't mind bagging cheese, sealing packs, and keeping the factory floor running smoothly, this could be a great fit. It's rotating shifts, £12.27 an hour, and there's potential to go permanent. The role requires transport, as the site isn't exactly walkable. See if this one stacks up by visiting the production job listing.

Whether you're hunting for your next big move or just fancy a change, Wells is full of opportunities this week. Keep checking the Wells jobs page for the latest listings and updates – because your next role might be just around the corner (or in a cheese factory).
