There's a job up for grabs at Melhuish and Saunders in Glastonbury.
There's a job up for grabs at Melhuish and Saunders in Glastonbury.

If your morning coffee tastes like existential dread, it might be time to freshen up the old employment status.

This week’s local listings include wrangling toddlers, decoding cow data, and delivering the news while the town’s still asleep. Glamorous? No. Available? Definitely.

Let's start in the fields. If you know your way around a milking parlour and a spreadsheet, this Dairy Services Key Account Manager role could be your next move. Based in Glastonbury, it comes with a salary up to £50k and involves managing strategic clients, analysing farm performance, and making friends with people who probably own five pairs of wellies. It's data meets dung – and yes, hybrid working might be on the cards.

For those of you more into logistics and the kind of job that's done before most people wake up, the Self-Employed Driver gig based around Glastonbury and Yeovil pays up to £41k for delivering newspapers in the early hours. You'll need your own 3.5t van, an alarm clock that doesn't snooze, and a solid playlist.

Over in Street, there's a Locum Veterinary Surgeon job paying up to £600 a day. If you can juggle surgery, consults, and the occasional grumpy cat, this could be a very tidy earner. There's flexibility on hours, no weekends, and no on-call duties – so you might actually get to enjoy your life too.

Back in early years land, Brookside Academy is hiring a full-time Nursery Practitioner in Street. It pays just over £27k if you're Level 3 qualified and involves key working, play-based learning, and more tiny hand-holding than most adults are prepared for. If you're more SEN-focused, their Specialist Provision Teacher post offers a chance to teach small adaptive classes with strong team support – and comes with a SEN allowance and staff wellbeing schemes.

If you're the kind of person who enjoys a colour-coded spreadsheet more than a playground full of toddlers, the Accounts Administrator role in Glastonbury might suit you better. It's part-time, pays up to £15 an hour, and involves everything from invoicing to reconciling the company credit card. Bonus points if you know your way around the Construction Industry Scheme or have survived a reception phone line.

Lastly, if you fancy spending your working day surrounded by kibble and corporate values, Royal Canin is looking for a Production Coordinator. The 12-month contract comes with shift rotations, bonus schemes, and the chance to make food for animals that eat better than most students.

Whether you're chasing a pay rise, a better boss, or just a job that doesn't make you question your life choices daily, there's something here worth a click.
