If you're keeping one eye on work, this week's list has range. A hefty domestic cleaning role leads the way, followed by a steady flow of shift engineers, supply chain types, and people who know their way around blinds and budget spreadsheets.

It's local, it's varied, and some of it even includes free flu jabs.

Starting with domestic graft, a local family is after a Cleaner for large family home somewhere "outside Street / Glastonbury" – which could mean Butleigh, Meare, or anywhere the 77 doesn't go. You'll need previous experience and be willing to commit to at least three full days a week. No form to fill – just ring the number on the listing.

If you're better at managing buildings than mopping them, Part-time lodge manager (Cavendish Lodge, Glastonbury) is hiring. It's a 30-hour week, Monday to Friday, with a salary of £19,286 plus benefits. You'll be keeping things safe and smooth for residents, managing budgets, and generally making sure the place doesn't fall apart.

For the practically minded, Blinds and curtains installer – Glastonbury (self‑employed) and Blinds and curtains installer – Street (self‑employed) are both on offer via Hillarys. No experience needed – they'll train you up – but you'll need to be good with people, measuring tapes, and potentially a stepladder. Choose your own hours, work locally, and avoid ever having to sit in an office again.

On the factory floor, Mars Petcare is hiring Shift maintenance engineer (multiskilled) – Glastonbury and Shift maintenance engineer (multiskilled) – Ashcott. Both roles offer £43.6k–£46.1k for a 32-hour week, with rotating weekend and weekday shifts. Expect machinery, diagnostics, and enough benefits to make you read to the bottom of the listing.

For logistics minds and spreadsheet lovers, Mars is also after planners in Glastonbury/Castle Cary, Baltonsborough, and Butleigh. All three listings cover supply chain roles with competitive salary plus bonus, Monday–Friday hours, and a need for at least two years' experience. Strong planning software skills are a must.

Finally, history meets accounting with Head of finance and company secretary – Glastonbury Abbey. This is a senior post at one of Glastonbury's most iconic institutions. It's £46,525 FTE, 30 hours per week, and you'll be managing everything from budgets to HR. Qualified accountants only. Interviews mid-October.

That's the local work mix this week – practical, professional, and mostly within a reasonable driving radius. If nothing quite fits, there's always more to browse on the Glastonbury & Street jobs board.
