Whether you're thinking about a career switch or just fancy a peek at what's out there, there are plenty of jobs in and around Wells this week worth a look. From engineering roles and IT support to care work and kitchen shifts, here's a round-up of vacancies that might just tempt you away from your current desk—or sofa.

Barchester is recruiting for several roles at its care home in Wells, including a Hospitality Host/Hostess offering a permanent contract and £12.68 an hour. It's a hands-on, people-facing role for someone who's personable, helpful, and maybe even knows how to balance a tray with style. You don't need specific qualifications, just a genuine interest in the residents—and probably a good pair of shoes. You can apply here.

If evenings are more your thing, the Night Care Assistant position could be a better fit. Also with Barchester and also offering permanent hours, this role pays £13.44 per hour and involves supporting older residents with their overnight care. There's training, benefits, and, yes, you'll need a warm-hearted approach. More details here.

For those with a knack for fixing things—and a fondness for high-vis—there's a Facilities Engineer job on offer, with a salary of up to £45,000 a year. This one's for experienced engineers who fancy getting hands-on in a factory setting, helping to keep the place running like a well-oiled machine. It's based in Wells but also suits those commuting from nearby towns. You'll need to know your way around mechanical and electrical systems and be ready for technical progression (that's promotion, with more paperwork). Apply here.

Finally, if you prefer working in the cloud—literally—there's a Technical Support Engineer vacancy in Chewton Mendip, paying up to £45,000. This one's all about Azure, Microsoft 365, Google, AWS, and the rest of the tech alphabet soup. You'll need to know your stuff, and ideally have some experience with hybrid cloud environments and on-prem infrastructure. It's a permanent role with a pension and flexibility thrown in. Check it out here.

So, whether you're a people person, a tech brain, or a fix-it-all sort of worker, Wells has something going. Just maybe don't wait too long—these jobs aren't hanging around forever.
