Mendip District Council's office Our Shepton Mallet office

Our Shepton Mallet office is one of our smaller locations. But what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in activity! It’s a busy office, with break out areas for when you need to step away from your desk. You can also (very easily) step straight out into the nearby park. It’s a short walk from the office and has plenty of cafés and shops surrounding it – ideal for a quick lunch break. And, when the weather’s good, it’s also been known to host lively work picnics and the occasional (but fiercely competitive) game of rounders!

Living and working in Somerset

Thirst-slaying cider and super-tasty Cheddar cheese. Glastonbury Festival and world-famous Carnival. And anyone for cricket? When you think of Somerset, a few of these will immediately spring to mind. But there’s so much more to our special county.

Beautiful stretches of sandy coastline, caves, moors, the unique Somerset Levels, get-away-from-it-all areas of outstanding natural beauty, cool-list towns, internationally renowned art galleries and great food. And yes, cider. It’s all here. You’ll find historic villages and bustling market towns, rich heritage and history, sitting side-by-side with buzzing nightlife, great shopping and more family-friendly things-to-do than you can shake Merlin’s legendary staff at.
