Job-hunting in Wells? Whether you're after a full-time career overhaul or just something to fund your next flat white at Twentyone, the local listings are a surprisingly rich blend of practical, peculiar, and properly paid. From optometry to oiling up machinery, here's what's on the cards this week.

Start with something spotless: a cleaning gig that takes you around domestic homes and holiday lets in the Street/Glastonbury area. It's contract work with duties ranging from laundry to light restocking. Rates start at £12.50 and climb to £15 an hour, which isn't too dusty. Listing here.

Wells' food factory is hunting a maintenance engineer who knows their way around both electrical panels and mechanical mayhem. The salary's hovering around £52k and comes with life assurance, discounts and other capitalist trinkets. Listing here.

There's also a self-employed role for an installer of window furnishings. If you've got a drill and a tape measure and don't mind making things hang straight, this could net you around £50k a year—flexible hours, too. Listing here.

Vision Express is in need of an optometrist, because why shouldn't your eye tests come with private medical and a car allowance? Salary hits up to £79k if you're the right kind of glasses-wielding wizard. Listing here.

For the night owls and soft hearts: a care home in town needs a night care assistant (£14.20/hour) and a senior night carer with NVQ Level 3 (£15.54/hour). There are also bank roles going for those who prefer a less predictable schedule, with pay going up to £17.30/hour. Browse care listings here.

The same home also wants a housekeeping assistant (£12.71/hour) to keep things spick and span, plus a regular care assistant to bring warmth, patience and a few good cuppas to daily life. Listing here.

Back to the buses—a shunter/fueller is needed to potter around the depot, refuelling and checking fluids. Must hold a PCV licence. Training included; pay is £12.50/hour. Listing here.

Teachers on the sideline: outreach tutors are needed to provide 1-to-1 tuition to pupils not currently in school. QTS essential. It's flexible, usually 6–15 hours a week, and pays a respectable £30/hour. Listing here.
