Your weekly Wells job round-up – what's on offer and where to apply

Whether you're on the hunt for your next step, a new direction, or just fancy a browse, here's a round-up of the latest jobs on offer in Wells right now.
If caring comes naturally to you, Barchester is hiring a care assistant at one of its Wells-based care homes. You'll be supporting residents with daily living and companionship, and making sure each day counts — with full training, a benefits package and plenty of variety on offer.
Night owls might prefer a night care assistant role, also with Barchester. The duties are similar, but the shifts run overnight, so it's ideal for those who prefer working when everyone else is asleep.
If you're more into keeping things tidy than delivering personal care, the same team is also looking for a housekeeping assistant (bank). You'll be helping to maintain a clean, homely environment on a flexible, as-needed basis — perfect if you're after part-time or ad-hoc hours.

There's also an opportunity for a maintenance engineer with strong mechanical skills and experience in machinery upkeep. This full-time role offers between £34,000 and £36,000, with overtime, training, and a share of company profits — a solid option for someone who prefers wrenches to spreadsheets.
Fancy shaping young minds instead? A prestigious local school is hiring a geography teacher, with a September 2025 start. It's tailored to early career teachers and comes with a full support package, hands-on fieldwork opportunities, and the chance to spark a love of maps, mountains, and megacities in the next generation.
There's also a flexible role going as a secondary teacher through Supply Education Alliance, offering day-to-day and short- or long-term cover across schools in and around Wells. Pay ranges from £130 to £200 a day depending on experience — ideal for qualified teachers looking for variety and control over their schedule.
If you'd rather work behind the scenes, there's a role available for a shunter fueller in Wells, offering £12.50 an hour. You'll be making sure vehicles are clean, fuelled and ready to go. Shift work and weekend availability are required, but no day is the same — especially if you like to keep things moving.
